Hi, you should be able to reformat them by using different tools: - on MacOS: disk utility -> reinitialize disk to FAT32 format - on linux: gparted -> you can delete partitions, shrink them, copy them on a per byte basis... - on Windows: you should be allowed to "format" them from the right click menu which opens on them in Explorer hope this helps, Andrea -- Andrea Mangiatordi http://www.farfalla-project.org/ http://bglug.linux.it/ _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
