Problem reformatting pen drive
I recently formatted DSL onto my pen drive to work on a notebook without a CD drive. I formatted DSL 2.1 onto a 1GB pen drive. After finishing I decided to take DSL off the drive. I used windows to reformat the pen drive to fat32 and erase DSL. The problem is DSL only formatted itself to 49.9MB of the drive, so I only reformatted 49.9mb and that's the max I can save onto my pen drive.
How do I get the other 950.1mb back??10" Sony Vaio SRX99P 850MHz P3-M 256MB RAM 20GB HD : ArchLinux
