Formatted USB drive, now can't see it
I have just joined the forum and am running Mint in a partition on a Win10 machine. I tried to mount a brand new 64gbyte usb card and then formatted only to render the whole thing invisible! It shows as no disc on Win10 and Mint-any advice please?

if you now use the LinuxMint Live Media & then run the Gparted program:
- take a screen_shot of what that program is showing & copy that image back here.
it does seem, as if you've formatted the entire drive.

"...brand new 64gbyte usb card..." Was this suspiciously cheap? Was it in a sealed bubble-pack? Does it look genuine? In the UK a real 64GB chip would cost around £20.

They clearly have a technology way ahead of our own, but then so does the Borogravian State Washing Machine Collective. Not a good choice of simile really. Sorry.
