Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.37.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x11b3e285.


Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Re-reading the partition table failed.: No such device or address

The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or partx(8)

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): Y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sdb.
Problem opening /dev/sdb for reading! Error is 6.
The operation has completed successfully.


when i pull out the thumb drive and put back in and run fdisk it shows this....

Like many FOSS commands, there's nothing for it to show on success. On success, the kernel has the table updated, which subsequent partition management commands will be expected to take into account. With USB devices, it's generally best to detach after partition manipulation, then reattach for further use.

If you're really new with Linux and partitioning, it might be better for you to deal with partitions using Gparted or other GUI tool.
