I bought a Geek Squad 4GB flash drive several years ago. It's one of those that have a 4MB Windows annoy-ware partition and a fat32 partition in the rest. Except that now it only has the 4MB partition. Neither Windows nor suse see the 4G partition -- not even with fdisk. I googled "flash drive format utility linux", and several subsets of those words, but found no help. I seem to remember someone saying that I could get rid of the persistent 4M annoyware by doing a dd write of some sort, but I didn't understand it at the time, and now I've lost the reference. I thought this might be a way to recover the 4G, but if the system can't see it, can it write to it? Before I toss it and buy another, can someone tell me how I might salvage this one?
