(I've just realised I shouldnt really have posted this question in the Debian forums probably..If Admin wants to move it etc etc I am sorry.)
Hello all. Firstly, I apologise for this rather silly question but I am at a loss.
I have a USB stick I need formatting to FAT32. I plugged it in and enter the following.
Code:
fdisk -l
And I can see it here..
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 254975 127487+ ee GPT
But i notice this error
Code:
WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted
Which confuses me to no end....
I thought nothing of it (Looked it up everyone said its a harmless error?) so continued with what I know..
Code:
mkdosfs -F 32 -I /dev/sdb1
But it throws back this...
Code:
/dev/sdb1: No such file or directory
Which confuses me because I can clearly see it is there?
I'm okay with Linux but when it comes to disks and flash drives and stuff my knowlegde is at a minimum.
Please can someone help. Thank you.
SOLVED sorry to waste anyones time
