Hi, I made a live bootable Fedora-13 on Buffalo 8G usb stick using Linux command > dd if=Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso of=/dev/sdb1 It was successful apart from no longer able to copy any file on it. The live Fedora only occupied 700M while the media is 8G. I got the following message when trying to copy a file on it, even if with the root privilege. > cp mag01.doc /media/Fedora-13-i686-Live/ cp: cannot create regular file `/media/Fedora-13-i686-Live/mag01.doc': Read-only file system I removed any existing partition using /sbin/fdisk and reformatted with command line /sbin/mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb What I have now is a single partition with only 6.8 Gb free space. The question, how can I recover the original volume amount, 8G. If this is related to the file systems (ext3), which one should I choose so the volume get back to the original. Thanks for any kind of response.
