Hi, > critter:~# mkfs vfat /dev/sda1 > mke2fs 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) > mkfs.ext2: bad blocks count - /dev/sda1
the correct format to call mkfs is mkfs -t <filesys> <device> You were trying to create an ext2 file system, which is the default if no type is specified. Check man mkfs for more options. Due to the error messages you had experienced with this stick before, I guess there are a couple of bad blocks which could be found using the option -c and excluded for formatting.
