USB-stick 1TB
These usb-sticks allway gets F**ked up after using them on windows. Now i had a 1 Gb stick and after using it with XP I could not delete the files being root. So I wanted to reformat the stick and that did not work. And then I tried to use the dd command and writing zeros on the stick to reformat it. So now I got a stick that shows that it got 1 Terabyte and I am not able to format it.
I will never again help anyone with windows. Always truble. Any one got this problem? And another thing: Why cant I write to a harddisk being root and haveing set all permission? |
I see that this hapend to some people. Well I got the stick reconized by fdisk by rebooting. I tried to limit the stick to 1 Gb but no luck. How does the computer reconize the size of the stick when its not formated?
|
Ok I realised my mistak I should have set the usrid usrgrupid bits to be able to read/write files. ANd now i erased every thing on the stick. I hope I will figure out how to fix it.

Hello everyone,
Got this after booting with another kernel:- [root@shakti usb]# uname -r 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 [root@shakti usb]# lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 058f:6387 Alcor Micro Corp.

Are you mounting the USB drive? Plug in the USB, then run
Code:
fdisk -l Code:
mount /dev/sdx1 <mountpoint> |
J.W.
got good edvice. Try it and if it does not work post again. |
OK I get this on the command fdisk -l

I hope I found out later since I am curriuos. a tera byte on a stick - a world record? |
Have you tried simply dropping the partition, and then recreating it?
|
J.W yes i have in fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk etc but the same. The question is how does fdisk know the size of a blank disk? I think its something set from the plant and I think I destroyed that part. So how do I set it?
