USB drive with CD Partition

[Wyldkatt]

Hi there

I was given a USB storage device from a supplier and they have partitioned the device into 2 sections.

Section 1 is now a CD-Drive formatted as a master boot record (file system CDFS) containing 408KB of space but with 2 file that I cannot remove

Section 2 is removeable disck formatted as FAT containing 1.87GB of space.

This has been done and therefore I would like to undo. I have tried accessing this via the disk management tool but no luck there.

I would rather just have the one thing and no extras...

Can anyone help me?

Kind regards Wyldkatt

The small partition is the system partition of usb. It keeps a record of driver and the file size. It is constant in all pen drives and even on hard drive. What you want to do exactly. Do you want to covert the fat partition to ntfs. I am not able to get you clearly. There tons of tools that you can try. A simple option for formatting a usb can be command prompt. Click on start and type cmd. The in the command prompt type chdir f:. F is the pen drive. Then type format f: and hit enter.

Hi there

I have tried:

format g:/fs:fat32

It then asked me to enter the current volume label (which is mycd_vol)
And then asked me to confirm the format - at which point it told me the disk was write protected and unable to continue.

It is treating this partition as a non-removeable disk
