When I do >sudo fdisk -l This is what I get for the USB drive.
Disk /dev/sda: 62 MB, 62914560 bytes 2 heads, 63 sectors/track, 975 cylinders Units = cylinders of 126 * 512 = 64512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 976 61424 6 FAT16 Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?): phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 0, 33) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(1023, 1, 63) logical=(975, 0, 30) I tried to format the whole thing with FAT32 by doing: sudo mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sda1 Can someone please tell me what command to use to elmininate any partitions on the usb drive and format it for moving files between Windows XP and Linux?
