how to remove Rosa installation from USB Flash

[ejvwaasdijk]

In order to install Rosa Fresh 2012 R2 on a computer I downloaded the iso and decided to dump it on a USB Flash drive via the command dd. It worked beautifully and I installed successfully. Now I want to use the usb stick for other purposes, but I am unable to remove the files. I am the owner of them but I cannot change the properties to read, write, remove.

I tried everthing: fdisk, gdisk, sgdisk, and spent hours reading the manuals. Gparted tells me the stick is empty, but it is not. Nothing has changed. Nothing works.

How do I wipe the whole stick and reuse it for other purposes?

Greetings,

Hello ejvwaasdijk.
Try the following (logged as root):

Код: Выделить всё

# mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb

If not work, try this (also as root):

Код: Выделить всё

# mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sdb

Remember to replace sdb for your device, if it was not that, but sdc or another.

Sorry for my English (by Google Translate) is that I speak Spanish.
After comments said to see if it worked.
Greetings.

Por las dudas lo dejo en Español también.
Hola ejvwaasdijk.
Prueba con lo siguiente (logueado como Root):

Код: Выделить всё

# mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb

Si no funciona, prueba con esto (también como Root):

Код: Выделить всё

# mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sdb

Recuerda reemplazar sdb por tu dispositivo, en caso que no fuera ese, sino sdc y otro.

Disculpa mi inglés (By Traductor de Google) es que yo hablo Español.
Después comenta comenta para saber si te funcionó.
Saludos.
