Reformat ISO thumb drive?

[gittist]

Hi,

I suspect that the cure may not be worth the effort.

I have a flash dive (I think it was an ISO) that I can’t do anything with. As soon as I put it in the computer starts looping and pop ups galore. Even if I can hit format in time to get that box ‘format’ is grayed out.

Today I am getting

Unable to mount 16 volume..

Unable to mount..op canceled

Folder contents can't be displayed,

and it keeps looping

Is there an easier fix or do I just toss it?

Thanks,

I would try to wipe it with GParted (apt install gparted). just be careful and make sure you select your USB drive and not something else!
