Chelseagirl,
Apologies; its nothing like doing a low level format or anything with GParted. I just wipe the partitions and reformat them a couple of times. I also do a check of each partition after I finish. In the GUI Ubuntu GParted application there are drop downs on the title bar for all of the functions. Looks like you already did that anyways.
Just be careful and make sure you are making changes to the memory stick and not the boot partition. In Microsoft too you can utilize Mini Tools (free) to do the same as gegs mentions.
If you do have low level partition errors there a few "free" low level memory stick tools out there in internetlandia.
I'll see similiar weird stuff playing with different writes / write methodologies on the USB sticks.
mikeywilliams, I have seen that; but alway going from one OS to another playing with the home office desktop Joggler; its all taped together right now with painter's masking tape and a bunch of wires hanging out from its guts; looks to be like a Frankenstein experiement.
