Hey everyone! I recently tried backing up some Ubuntu files to a Flash Drive and then it ended up resulting in Chaos! I copied the files to the flash drive then suddenly the flash drive became read only. I followed instructions on another forum, on trying to re-format it. Well I reformatted it to FAT-32. However, now I am no longer able to see that portion I reformatted instead all I see is a .1Mb portion. Please help! I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
Also when I ran the sudo fdisk -l I got this as the result

sdb should be 32 gigabytes. However, its not detecting all that portion for some reason?
