Format Pen from ext2 to fat32
 

hai

i have 2 GB pen drive recently i put pendrivelinux.img on that like the below command

fdisk -l
dd if=pendrivelinux.img of=/dev/sdX

Optional - Create a second partition for saving changes:

fdisk /dev/sdX
n (makes a new partition)
p (makes the new partition a primary partition)
2 (makes this the 2nd primary partition)
w (writes the new partition information to the USB drive)
umount /dev/sdX1
mkfs.ext2 -b 4096 -L live-rw /dev/sdX2


after that i am trying to formatted my pen drive (in windows) it showing on 400MB how to get my 2GB

when i insert into Linux machine it showing two partition


i want to format my pen drive as single partition how to do this?

please tell me the procedure to do format

In linux you can delete the partition and then format it. Before that back up the data if you feel so. Use mke2fs -j /dev/sdb to format it as one single partition.
