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

Exactly. fdisk should also work. USB sticks are just block devices--not
special in any way. Typically they come from the factory with old-style
DOS partition tables and FAT32 filesystems.

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.
