format usb

[Brian Cluff]

Pull the drive out and do:
cat /proc/partitions

Then insert the drive into your computer, count to 10 and run the above 
command again.  The new drive that shows up is the one you just 
inserted.  If you don't see any differences, run it again, the drive 
just might be slow in connecting to you system.  If it doesn't show up 
at all, it might be damaged and isn't going to show up... try turning it 
off and back on again :)
