This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

I hope you can make something out of this.

Hi Jacques,

Could you go to the terminal window and with the USB mem stick plugged
in, run the following command:

sudo fdisk -l

The output should tell us what a few more details about the disk.

Kind regards,
Bernard

        Dear LUG members,
        
        I've a small problem with my USB mem stick.
        It's a 2GB stick, but Ubuntu says it's only 940MB big.
        
        Anyone of you an idea??
