I have a 4 gb thumbdrive. Somehow when I was formatting it, 3gb has been unallocated and I can't create a new volume no matter what I try.

There is also a 99mb efi system partition I can't get rid of.

You are on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

What did you format your thumbdrive to?

Format it again, that’s what I did when I had the problem

All I can format is the 50 MB partition that I can access
