I wanted to put a .ISO file on my USB stick using dd.But, instead of using: dd if=/my/iso of=/dev/sdb I did dd if=/my/iso of=/dev/sdb1 first.And because I wanted to rectify my mistake, I also did dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb and dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1.Go figure, now something is broken.I tried creating a new partition table. But that didn't help.Is there a way to get the USB Stick back to it's old capacity?
4GB USB Stick is only 1.37GB now?
partition;usb drive
After you dd an image to a flash drive, the drive will be divided in 2 parts: the image partition with the image's size and a blank part. That's normal.To get your drive go like before, just format it: mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sdb (as root).
