I have a big problem. I was trying to follow instructions on how to install a linux Distro on a usb stick, tried to change it a little bit so that there was an extra partition than the instructions said, and now that USB stick is not being read by my eee. The thing is, the computer can see the sda (4gb ssd), the sdb (the 16gb ssd) and my other usb stick, sdc (4gb) with no problems. It just does not see the other usb stick at all, even when i type:

sudo fdisk -l

the bad usb stick has 3 partitions on it, 2 @ ~750 meg, and a 3rd at ~14 gig. when i plug it into my windows desktop tower, it works just fine as the first 750mb partition. the partition manager in windows shows all 3 partitions, but i can't do anything to them except format the 2 smaller ones. right now i'm stuck with a 16gb usb stick that only has 750 usable, and isn't readable by my linux eeepc

I've been spinning my wheels on this since last night, please point me in the right directions
