I have just taken DSL off my old usb stick to put it onto another one and i have formatted it in windows. Now not only dosent windows see the full 128 mb but i cant delete the 2nd partition on the drive so it can.

This is really frustrating because i need to transfer some files from one computer to another but they are all larger than 49.7mb.

Can anyone help me???

So you can't format it on Windows, huh? Blame Windows.

I think this user had a similar problem and found the solution. Welcome to DSL forums, and learn to love the Search function ;)

may be you can try(on linux)
if your usb pendisk is in /dev/sda
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1

echo -e "n\np\n1\n\n\nt\n6\nw" | fdisk /dev/sda >/dev/null

(on window format it)
