command (m help): w partition table has been altered. calling ioctl() re-read partition table. re-reading partition table failed.: device or resource busy

the kernel still uses old table. new table used @ next reboot or after run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8).

error formating volume

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!
