Hi all.

So I have a 32gb usb which I want to use as a freenas os drive, but it is formated as a 385mb nfts partition, and the rest of the drive is unallocated. I went into disk manager to try and make a new partition with the entire drive, but those options are unavailable, and when I reformat the disk, it only affects the partition, and leaves the unallocated part of the drive alone.

Any advice on erasing the existing partition would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
