I did that, and when I was done, a pair of files and a directory 
containing those same files was still there.  Then I found another 
problem, the target machine can't read from a filesystem greater than 4G 
and its an 8Gb usb stick.

So I am wondering it gparted can "partition" it for a 1Gb first partition?

I have the files elsewhere, so if I wipe it clean thats ok, as long as I 
wind up with something that is usable to hold about 5Mbytes of data.  Its 
a firmware update for a SigLint/Atten/Wavetek/fluke/yadda o-scope.
