    Need To Reclaim USB Storage after Linux Repartition


    I have a 16GB USB stick that I am needing to do a Windows Media Clean Install from. At one time I thought about using the USB stick for a Linux Live Install from. I never did but I just realized that Linux must have repartitioned the USB stick because it now shows that there is only 140k capacity when it is a 16GB stick!


    Is there any way that I can repartition the USB stick so that I can reclaim the entire stick?

    :)

    Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

    I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.
