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.

Make sure that the disk is unmounted to be be able to complete the tasks.
Click on the little wheels on the to right corner, and choose format disk. That will setup the partition
Then click on the little wheels as shown below, and choose format to get the flash drive ready for use. It creates the file system.
