help ! someone know how to recover...

[for_answer]

Days ago I put TinyCore on my usbkey using 'dd' comand, and had a trial of this distro,
now I cannot use this usbkey anymore, and cannot find a way to format it.  gparted gave error messages and stopped.  The usbkey is recognized as sdc and sdc1,  there are two folders in sdc which I cannot remove
them. Please tell me a correct way to overcome this, good guys here !
English is my foreign, sorry for mistakes

gparted log might be of use

I suspect you have the drive mounted.

WARNING - this will blank your disk - make sure your device is /dev/sdc before running it.

From a terminal

Code: [Select]

dd if=/dev/zero of=dev/sdc bs=512 count=1
(You will then need to create a new partition & filesystem on it.)
