few days ago I have installed Linux 12.10 in my 16 GB USB drive. It was working fine. After some days, I wanted USB for my other uses, so I tried to format it. Whole USB gets formatted but the partition of 8 GB containing Master Boot Record didn't. So, now USB drive showing me only 8 GB of free space. Please help me soon. I have windows 7 on my hard disk also.
