Well, normaly you would use "mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1", where the a in sda1Can anyone feed me the console command for bash to reformat a usb pen drive? It is fat 32 now and somehow write protected but has no manual write protection switch. Any ideas are appreciated. I think I have the commands from "Running Linux" but want to be sure so I don't screw this thing up any worse than it is. Thanks,
may change, depending on how mayn SCSI devices, and what order they are
dected. But if your PEN drive is write protected, that may not work. You may be stuck running the Windows software for it, and using that to unlock the drive. It sounds like write protect is implimented in firmware in the drive. I don't know if the USB drivers support the SCSI commands to remove write protect, or even if the pen drive uses the standard SCSI commands...
