the size of pendrive 4 gb when see in file browser shows size 69 gb, why?
how can format pendrive in fat or ntfs format?
your pendrive have error, have fix first!
open terminal , type:
sudo fdisk -l
to find out pendrives name. then:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=512 count=16
where x letter of pendrive! type in password , hit enter! fixes wrong header entry on pendrive, overwriting , zerroes, in first 8 kb!
after can use normal partition program: set dos , make ntfs or fat32 partition compatibility other computers , multimedia equipment!
