No preparation. The image you copy with dd already contains a valid mbr + ext2 partition. So after the dd command, you should be able already to mount the ext2 partition. If this does not work - something is already odd - so make sure that mounting it already succeeds ! (Let's call it step 0). >>> Can I clarify the steps below are in sequential order >>> 1. dd operation Yes >>> 2. fdisk operation - delete all partitions, then create a new partition > and then write to disk. There should be exactly one partition to delete. >>> 3. Resizefs operation Yes >>> 4. Mount partiton (I tried this but could not get a successful mount > until I create a filesystem using mke2fs. Is this step necessary ?) The first 3 steps are ok. If the 4. step does not succeed something failed during re-partition and ext2 resize of the ext2 partition. Effectively you should see on the ext2 partition the very same content as after Step 0 (dd). The main goal of step 2-3 is to expand the ext2 partition over the whole USB stick - otherwise there is not enough place for the VM image.
