insanedown58 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I was working on this client's laptop when I decided to make a USB installer for another distro in her laptop. After formatting and writing the Ubuntu ISO to the flash drive its size went up from 4GB to 15GB. When I try to format it GParted would always show the "The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes." error. How do I fix this? This is the most bizarre thing I've seen yet :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino8 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 BootICE is a great tool to fix the problems you have. I don't know exactly how it works, but I believe youyou should click "Parts Manage" and then Restore Partition Table. Re-Partition is also an option if Restore does nothing.http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/Bootice.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanedown58 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Okay managed to fix it with GParted. I apparently just had to keep ignoring the error messages and make a new partition table despite the errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
