USB Key


At school I copied My Pictures folder onto my USB key and he permissions stuck. I can't delete it. I decided to fdisk /dev/sda and delete and recreated a flagged FAT16 partition. For some reason... My Pictures is still there. How do I reformat?

I still want to know how on Linux, I reformated it on a Windows computer at school. When I try to copy files onto the drive it says: "Creating folders is not supported with protocol devices" When I try a file not a folder is says "Writing to devices is not supported." This USB key is a 64MB Micro Advantage QuickiDrive.

could you try becoming root, then chowning the folder recursively?

It's all chowned for /mnt/removable for owners, group, others. Nine options are check to yes. There were a few files I wanted to put into chowned for "other" as varied( I just propertied all folders, files and subfolders, so I modified that to view, mod, exeute, etc...

I'm not an "other" though? I was at least a group, no? I'm not sure how UIDs are setup.

UPDATE: I wasn't able to put the files back on after removing them. Something somewhere has really screwed up, I think my fstab is crazy, too. I should have never fdisked my key?

Code:
/dev/hda7 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/lin2 ext3 defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
none /mnt/removable supermount dev=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850 0 0
I just removed duplicate supermounts for removable called /mnt/hd and /mnt/hd2
