Other Help Topics :: I can't fix my Pendrive after using dsl.

A buddy of mine installed dsl on my 1GB usb drive, later i deleted it because i needed space but now that max space it can hold is about 50mb. If someone could tell me how to get my other 950mb back it would be greatly appreciated.

what happens when you list what is on the USB drive? Are you looking at it from Linux or Windows?

I assume thats when you plug it into a window box as 50mb equates with the first partition in a dsl to usb pendrive install - just repartition the drive as a single unit.

To repartition it i need to be in BIOS, but for some reason my BIOS won't recognise the flash drive. Any suggestions?

Boot DSL from the livecd disk.

Plug in the USB drive and wait 30 seconds.

Choose

Apps -> Tools -> Install to Pendrive -> USBHDD

The USBHDD install script will repartition your drive back into a single 1GB partition and you will get your space back.

If you want to get rid of the DSL files, boot back into MSWindows and delete them from the USB drive using windows explorer.
