Hello. I am wondering if someone can help me to wipe a usb flash drive?
The way I have been doing it in the past, is to put it into my windows machine (cheater I know) and use the disk management feature to format or remove partitions. Well now that option is not working. I can't shrink, or delete the volume, nor can I use the unallocated space.
From what I gather on searches, the dd command is maybe what I need to use? If that is the case, could someone help me do it? EVERYTHING I have is safely backed up on my FreeNAS server, so am not afraid to delete anything on the computer.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Joe
