You want to run `fdisk -l /dev/sdb'.<br />b) Are you sure, the device is /dev/sdb? The command `dmesg' should show you, which device is added when you put on the stick.<br />c) shred usually doesn't go on "indefinitely". The default is to run three iterations of randomly overwriting the stick. By using the -z switch another iteration is added to overwrite the stick with zeros. This needs hours, not just minutes. You can view the progress by using the -v switch.Daniel Leiderthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052464961644858181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131419324726672281.post-3717321078601534042014-01-07T22:16:45.907+01:002014-01-07T22:16:45.907+01:00fdisk -l /dev/sdX

What I did was:<br />cat KNOPPIX_V7.2.0DVD-2013-06-16-EN.iso > /dev/sdX<br />Then fdisk and mkfs.ntfs <br />Now it creates a bootable partition and a NTFS partition. The NTFS partition is visible from Windows well, and can be accessed properly.However if I boot from this usb, It boots up to linux but shows in mount list, the /dev/sdx mounted. So, I cannot mound /dev/sdx1 or /dev/sdx2. Which means I cannot access /dev/sdx2 from linux. Any suggestions?

Assume it is /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2, where sdb1 is the bootable partition and sdb2 is the ntfs partition. After booting the partitions are visible in fdisk. But I cannot mount /dev/sdb2 as it says /dev/sdb is mounted as iso9660 etc. Any work arounds? ( My email is bgupta@bluestsoft.com I did not understand how to fill the entry below so selected Anonym.
