Topic: [Solved] Formatting USB Failure
Let me begin by saying I'm new to this forum.
I created a bootable USB with Ubuntu on it, couldn't natively delete file (so I can reuse the USB for other purposes) so I used Gparted to format it.
I formatted it (see image) I cannot format it with a file system (e.g ntfs (which I prefer), ext3, reiserfs, etc). I'm quite stuck here which is why I need help.
