Hi,
you could try this (assuming /dev/sda is your flash device):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
cfdisk /dev/sda
mkfs.fat32 /dev/sda1
This should kill the partiontable with dd and create a new empty fat32.
Thanks, Johannes, this worked to get my 4G back. The 4M garbage partition is still there; I suspect it's in a hard ROM rather than in flash. But I do have the 4G, and I've transferred files to and from it successfully.
