Which model of PNY stick are you using? I have a couple of 512Meg Attache and 
I am unable to change it to a Linux formatted device. It just throws up lots 
of device errors. The FAQ at the PNY web site says the device can not be 
partitioned. I found that odd since its the first of three different brands of 
USB sticks that I haven't been able to format for Linux.
