If fdisk and/or dd can't read the USB storage device, your hardware
and/or kernel are unable to transfer data to/from it properly. This can
be caused by non-standard USB hardware requiring special drivers which
are non-available for Linux, or non-availability of support for your
particular USB device in the (older?) kernel you're using. Theoretically
it's also possible that your system is misconfigured.
