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.

Each time I have to deal with partitions, should they be on hard-disks or USB sticks, I make use of gparted.

Gparted doesn't even see the stick ! Fdisk sees it but only the first partition.

Thanks anyway.

# 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.
