Thread: Gparted says my wife's pendrive has a partion of -510 B?

my wife's pendrive has been nothing trouble. having learned couple of days ago gparted backed , used gparted take @ it.

had 2 partitions, both flagged boot.
deleted both partitions.
1 showed size of zero, other showed size of -512 b , therefor won't let me carry out more operations on it!

that's new 1 on me.

suggestions creating new single partition, can format fat32.

regards,

brawd.

one showed size of zero, other showed size of -512 b , .

sounds corrupted

code:

man mkfs.vfat man parted

don't run these commands till sure do
if know location of drive maybe like
/dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1

code:

parted /dev/sdb

rewrite partions

code:

mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1

above commands destroy data on selected drive
make dos filesystems

can see partions mounted command

code:

df -h

you can see partions , drives though
gparted graphically
gparted should work if doesn't above manual way of doing it, read manuals , or search commands on google
