It's certainly possible.  I would just use fdisk to delete both existing 
partitions and create a single partition that covers the entire drive. 
Depending on the size of the flash drive, fat16 might be a better bet 
than fat32 since you'll lose some free space using FAT32 on a drive 
that's less than 2GB.
