I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and when I plug my USB key into my laptop it doesn't appear. I also tried to use Gparted to detect it but it doesn't exist here. But using Disks in my OS I can see it. So what's wrong? is it corrupted?

As we can see it in your disks screenshot, try
mount /dev/sdb /mnt
then it shall return something like
mount: /dev/sdb is not a valid block device
This means your Ubuntu can detect the device.
In terminal, type:
sudo su
for root rights and then try
mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb1 && mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt -t auto
I am not near my linux PC, but this might work, try it.
