Topic: GParted gives error: Input/output error during write on /dev/sdc
Hi, first thanks to GParted, which is handy to use.
I am trying to use GParted to make my USB Flash Disk size increase from 105 MB to 32 GB which is the size it should be.
I connect the USB Flash drive to my Linux computer and the device is recognised.
$ sudo fdisk -l, gives the results:
Disk /dev/sdc: 31.9 GB, 31914983424 bytes
224 heads, 19 sectors/track, 14646 cylinders, total 62333952 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0005c5cc
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 2048 206847 102400 b W95 FAT32
$ gparted:
Shows the following when I select the USB Flash drive under /dev/sdc (29.72 GiB)
