From your email it is clear that you want to create an MS-DOS/Windows XP file system under Linux. Try with the followings, I think it will help you out. [a] fdisk : Partition table manipulator for Linux [b] mkfs.vfat : Create an MS-DOS/windows XP filesystem by formatting given partition name (/dev/partition) First make sure USB pen is not mounted. Click on Places > Computer > Select USB pen > Right click > Select Unmount Volume. From your email /dev/sda1 is your partition name for USB pen. To format type the following command (Open X terminal and type the command) $ mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 Now you are ready to use USB pen
Forgot to metion something,
When done formatting, you'll be returned to the prompt pradipta@cn:~$ mkfs.vfat -n 'pradipta' -I /dev/sda (pradipta->name you want to keep for your pendrive) mkfs.vfat 2.11 (28 Jan 2010) pradipta@cn:~$ Remove and insert the pen drive to have mounted again!
1.) Insert Pendrive 2.) # fdisk -l (Run This Command as root, it will show u all partition with name of ur pendrive for example : /dev/sda or /dev/sdb etc) 3.) # mkfs.vfat *device name* (/dev/sda or /dev/sdb ) (mean name of ur pendrive) 4.) Done Happy Learning
