Hardware :: Unable To Format Pendrive - Delete Contents
Nov 18, 2009
I purchased new Kingston Datatraveler 32GB Pendrive after i copied some of the files into that around 2GB.
But whenever iam trying to delete those content it is giving the following error. Readonly file system actually it is not.
I tried the same in windows and linux.
Is there any way by which i can delete the content or format the pendrive.
By using the command
Now I want to forcefully format the pendrive or is there any tool or utility which will help me to format the USB.

I put Jolicloud on a pendrive to install it to my laptop, tried it out, didn't like it, and installed ubuntu with a CD instead. Now I want to use my pendrive for storage, so I popped it in, loaded up Gparted and formatted the drive.
Now, when I pop the pendrive into my laptop, Ubuntu thinks that Jolicloud is still on it, when Gparted says there are no partitions on the pendrive.
Screenshot:
How can I properly format the pendrive?

Instead of using the Firefox Better Privacy addon or the Macromedia website to manage Flash Cookies (LSO's), I would just like to periodically, delete the ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#SharedObjects directory.

I have a USB drive that has a TON of folders on its root level. I want to remove all those folders and their contents except three of them. I know if I do rm -rf that will kill everything, is there a way to exclude three folders, say folder1 folder2 newfolder, and do it all in one statement?

I have been using a kubuntu 10.10 till last week when it could not complete do-release-upgrade, so I downloaded kubuntu 11.04, specifying that I did not want my /home partition to be formatted, and went ahead with the installation. I used ext4 under 10.10 and selected ext4 again for 11.04, yet when I first rebooted after the completion of the installation, I could not find any of my files in that partition (except a newly created user home folder with the same user name as the old one). But when I looked at du -h, it's 92% full. I know I have set the mount point correctly, so it shouldn't be a fstab problem. What I should do to recover the files?

Im assuming there is a simple answer for this but I have yet to find it in forums. I have 2 partitions mounted on my ubuntu desktop, one is Windows C: drive labeled "Core" and the other is D: drive labeled "Reserve" but for some reason I have a second Windows folder on my desktop, when I attempted to delete it it began to delete the Windows files as well, one forum said to right click and "remove from desktop" but this option isnt in the menu. How can I just delete the folder?

I have a document with page numbers in the Table of Contents in Roman Numurals. I would like to change them to numbers 1, 2, 3. How would I do this? I'm not finding any help on the Internet and in Openoffice help. If I change the numbers manually, they will revert back when I update the Table of Contents.

When I am using some pendrives, I am unable to write (copy) anything into them and end up with some warnings like "read only mode". I tried to change its permissions using chmod also, but it is of no use.

I have a second hand/used HDD which I want to use for an installation of 11.04 from CD. I have used this CD on identical hardware successfully before.When trying to install, Ubuntu sees that I do not have enough space on the HDD and tells me that only 657MiB is present and that 100% is in use. (see attached screenshots) I used DBAN thinking that this would completely wipe the drive but it has not solved things. DBAN recognised the drive as 152GiB.

I need to use a pendrive with the Slackware 13.0 and I've tried a lot of things I've found at the internet but unfortunately they didn't work. It's not possible to use graphical interface because some reasons. So the problem need to be solved by command line.
When I use "lsusb" command, I can see the pendrive.
However, when I try these:
I got the following message: "Module usb-ohci not found" and "Module usbcore not found"
How can I deal with these problem? Because I guess without these module loaded it's not possible to mount the pendrive. Is it right?

I'm still trying to find out if my coby mp3 player will actually play mtv video files as is advertised.
ffmpeg -formats does list mtv but the only command I really ever used was one to convert a vid to an mp3 so I tried Code: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy output.mtv it returns Code: Unable to find a suitable output format for 'output.mtv' I can't find any mtv files online for purchase or free for that matter, so I know this is all pretty obscure but shouldn't there be a way to convert them since ffmpeg lists mtv format?

I have a directory that has a another directory inside it. The top directory is rather redundant since it only contains the one other one. Is there a way to delete the top level directory and have the contents simply "move up a level"?

I had a drive with a partition layout like so:
~50gig Windows 7 - NTFS
~100gig Ubuntu - EXT3
~100gig Snow Leopard - HFS+
~100gig Extended Partition
-- ~100gig Swap Disk - exFat
I wanted to delete the Snow Leopard partition and format the Swap Disk partition to something else. exFat was causing major file size bloat on small files. QT sdk bloated to like 11 gigs or something ridiculous like that. Anyways, I loaded up an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live cd and gparted then deleted the Snow Leopard partition. Gparted said "Mission Accomplished" and tried to rescan the drive, but never found it. At this point I restarted the computer, a dell laptop, which didn't boot with an unable to find a bootable device error. The ubuntu live cd doesn't see the drive anymore. gparted scans for drives indefinitely and fdisk -l has no output.
