(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
