Got pic related at dollar store. Wanted to see if I could format

Try to write to it with dd, maybe its formatted as ISO9660 or UDF or some read-only shit.

tl;dr Fill MBR with zeros

I saw a bunch of those at the dollar tree. what's the capacity?

Thats what im trying to figure out, It doesn't even show up in gparted. The files are only taking up like 300mb

If using windows look up how to use DISKPART . It's already Included with Windows

check what chip it is, go to flashboot.ru and figure out what chinky software you need

I'm using loonix.

Kinda scared to plug it into my windows machine

the other side

how the fuck can linux not tell what the capacity of a simple usb drive is? what a shit os

That USB has no flash memory, it just has a small ammount of SPI flash (8pin chip). Throw it away.

not disagreeing, but how can you tell? just curious. never pulled one apart to see what they look like if its something obvious

>>56426731
So what does this thing actually do in Windows?

>>56427582
it cleans it

>>56426991
This, standard flash memory would have more pins.

>>56427582
it deletes win 32

As long as you have autorun disabled you have nothing to really worry about.

>>56426895
That "glue" has nothing to do with it. That's used to cover up chips that are the bare die that are directly surface mounted to the board.

It's basically a ccleaner clone that you have to pay for and it comes on a stick.

this video shows what you get with it

>>56426731
Could be ROM

>>56426799
This.

>unplug everything but wangcleanser
>open cmd
>"diskpart"
>wait for new window to open
>"list disk"
>disk0 should be c drive
>wangcleaner should be disk1
>"select disk 1"
>"clean"
>"create partition primary"
>"format fs="FAT32" quick

That's how you erase and format a normal flash drive. If it doesn't work then just throw it away.

Posting for an update. I'm curious to know the size of that drive now.

>wangcleanser
Laughed out loudly.

Also interested in the drive size.

I don't know if anyone has asked this yet, but how much data can the drive store?

lol nwo i need to go get one.

>>56426731
I've been curious as to what is actually on these USBs. They sound like an easy way to spread malware.

it looks like >>56426991 was right.

the drive is only like 4MB

>>56430542
it doesnt even show up in diskpart or gparted
