I now add a Linux partition... then..

/dev/sdc2           63488     7913471     3924992   83  Linux

Now create file system ....

/dev/sdc2           63488     7913471     3924992   83  Linux
rosenberg:/media/usbdrive# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdc2
mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Could not stat /dev/sdc2 --- No such file or directory

???????

What did I do wrong??

TIA

Ethan

After setting up the DOS partition, I also need a Linux partition....so....


It couldn't be the same again? Did you un-plug -- re-plug the stick in between creating the partition and trying to make a filesystem on it?
