New USB flash drive isn't listed in the BIOS

My old laptop(Aspire 4720Z), does detect other USB flash drives, but it doesn’t detect this new one. I’ve tried creating bootable Windows and Lubuntu drives on Lubuntu 22 using several tools like WoeUSB, Etcher, and Startup Disk Creator. I also tried different formats, but it still doesn’t recognize the new USB drive. I’ve tested both MBR and GPT partition schemes, and neither works. I've also tried FAT, NTFS, and exFAT formats. Here is the USB drive I’m referring to: https://www.patriotmemory.com/products/tab200-usb-2-0-flash-drive
