I recently purchased a 64gb usb thumb drive, but for some reason it appears as two disks on every system I've insert it in. I've tried to repartition it in Linux, Windows, and MacOS to no avail. Here's the dmesg when I insert it in a linux box:
usb 1-6: USB disconnect, address 4 usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=1307, idProduct=0165 usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-5: Product: USB Mass Storage Device usb 1-5: Manufacturer: USBest Technology usb 1-5: SerialNumber: 09090388b7b0a7 usb 1-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi5 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 5 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usb-storage: device scan complete scsi 5:0:0:0: Direct-Access 0.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 scsi 5:0:0:1: Direct-Access 0.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 sd 5:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] 61440000 512-byte hardware sectors: (31.4 GB/29.2 GiB) sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00 sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 5:0:0:1: [sdd] 63995904 512-byte hardware sectors: (32.7 GB/30.5 GiB) sd 5:0:0:1: [sdd] Write Protect is off sd 5:0:0:1: [sdd] Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00 sd 5:0:0:1: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sdc: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 5:0:0:1: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through sdd: sd 5:0:0:1: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk
Can somebody tell me how I can re-partition this thing to appear as a single drive? I've had no luck with any of the partition utilities on any OS because this drive doesn't appear as one disk with two partitions, but two physical disks.
UPDATE
The drive is a Centon ElitePlus.
I'm beginning to think that something is physically wrong with this drive. Can anyone confirm?
