Today i was given a free flash drive from BHP Bulliton (mining company) but it is partitioned into two halfs on with some crappy video and one blank, is their anyway to un partition it and delete the video? I tried to format the part with the video but it said it was Write protected anyway to unsplit it??

It has a GUI so it shouldn't be too hard, i think you can right click on the shown partitions to delete, format etc....

plug the thumb and cd in. Reboot. Boot from cd. Select thumb from drop down. Delete Partition, format to File System of your choice
