Hi Helmut, |

It sounds like there is a problem with the partition table on your USB |
| 5 |
stick. It might be the consequence of a hardware failure (read or more |
| 6 |
probably write) at some point. |
| 7 |
If, as you mention, once you do an fdisk then "p", you can use once |
| 8 |
again your USB stick, then maybe save everything you have on it, then |
| 9 |
create a new partition table using fdisk on that disk and format the |
| 10 |
whole thing. |

Hope that helps, |
