I had a Flash stick with Ubuntu to run as live USB. I didn't need it anymore so I used the Disks utility and I formatted it. Disks sees it now as unallocated space. I want to format it to NTFS but I cannot do it with disks. Gparted has no option for the device, no mount, no unmount, no format.. nothing.
The Flash doesn't appear in Gnome.
Finally, this is the result of running lsusb
and fdisk -l
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsusb

Any ideas to format it to NTFS?
