:shock: :lol:
and from menu> Disks?

I am totally out of ideas and consider it heartbreaking that Linux is miffing up this stick for car stereo to read from. It may be worth a try to zero the whole stick (format to nothing also option in Disks, and gparted I believe as well) then give it a exFAT format. otherwise I am at a complete loss for ideas (other than use VM with win7 (free/legal) or Wine using windows format tools :roll:
