Disconnect All USB Devices from the Mac If you have any device connected to your Mac’s USB port like external storage devices, USB hubs, dongles, etc. Unplug it and see if that fixes the issue. This step is recommended because – although somewhat rare – there’s always a possibility that your Wi-Fi connectivity issues are due to hardware.

Due to my rampant experimentation with many different Linux distros, I often times have to wipe a USB drive completely after making it a bootable live USB for something like OpenSUSE. If you used the Imagewriter.exe program used to create the drive, you’ll have a hard time later on if you try to use uNetBootin to make a live USB for a different distro. You can use bootice.exe in Windows to restore the drive. Here’s how to do it with fdisk in Linux (courtesy of PenDriveLinux.com)Restoring your USB key to it’s original state using Linux:

First we need to delete the old partitions that remain on the USB key.

UsbOsx
  1. Open a terminal and type sudo su
  2. Type fdisk -l and note your USB drive letter.
  3. Type fdisk /dev/sdx (replacing x with your drive letter)
  4. Type d to proceed to delete a partition
  5. Type 1 to select the 1st partition and press enter
  6. Type d to proceed to delete another partition (fdisk should automatically select the second partition)

Next we need to create the new partition.

  1. Type n to make a new partition
  2. Type p to make this partition primary and press enter
  3. Type 1 to make this the first partition and then press enter
  4. Press enter to accept the default first cylinder
  5. Press enter again to accept the default last cylinder
  6. Type w to write the new partition information to the USB key
  7. Type umount /dev/sdx (replacing x with your drive letter)

The last step is to create the fat filesystem.

  1. Type mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdx1 (replacing x with your USB key drive letter)

That’s it, you should now have a restored USB key with a single fat 32 partition that can be read from any computer.

Hi there guys
I was looking for some help with an issue, please.
Background (& What I'd like to achive):
I currently have a a USB stick with a version of Puppy linux on it, that has 2 partiions on it -
1. The OS drive
2. A storage partiion
Puppy is installed onto the stick, and I can modify files, add / remove programmes and plug-ins for
browsers, etc, etc.
And it also have the (very useful) ability to copy itself into RAM to make it much faster
What I'd like to achive:
I'd like to do the same with Ubuntu -
1. OS partiion (with the ability to copy the OS and/or the FS (Filesystem) into RAM
to make it much quicker to use
2. A data partiion to store my files
Q 1. How would I go about doing this ?
Q 2. I'd obvously also need to make sure that the USB stick is bootable from itself,
and allow me to use it with any PC that allows booting from USB.
TIA for any help and advice
