I have an old Patriot XT 4GB flash drive that, somehow, has become two pieces of hardware according to Windows, Linux, and any BIOS. About 1GB is inaccessible, while the other 3GB are usable. The 1GB portion shows up in Windows as an unpartitioned and unformatted device, and although I can assign a partition and format it, I cannot write to the 1GB part.
I don't care one way or the other about the data on the drive. I primarily use it for booting to GParted. It's just sort of confusing having to pick PATRIOT USB DEVICE or PATRIOT USB DEVICE from the boot menu...lol. Also, how in the world does this happen, and how do you fix it?
