  Hi Guys,

 I've been trying without any success to remove multiple
 partitions from a USB stick !  Please can any kind soul help by
 telling me how to do this.

 Thanks in advance. 
 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/your-usb-stick

 and then wait ... or you can read the manpage of dd and then zero
 out the first meg (MBR+GPT) and the last meg (GPT) of the stick.

Bingo !!!  Thanks Nik that worked just fine.  Gparted has let me put a 
new partition on it.

The USB stick was one of those with a hidden partition with some 
encryption software on it.

Thanks Nik this one goes into my notebook.
