How to format a flash drive under Ubuntu?

Question

linux

Boot disk with Ubuntu on the flash drive. How to format it, so that later it will work on Winovs (before that, I formatted another flash drive, so it didn’t work on Windows then - some kind of hell)? It throws an error This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table; please reinitialize layout of the whole device. (udisks-error-quark, 11)

Answer 1

Good afternoon.
The easiest option is to use gparted.
Run, select a flash drive, select a partition and click delete. After that, confirm your actions.
Then you create a new partition table and a partition in fat or ntfs.
ps The flash drive must be unmounted, otherwise you won't be able to do anything.
