Flash Drive Format Problem

So I plugged in a 2GB flash drive, and I need to burn an image to it, so I formatted and then the drive went from the 2GB stock to a 256MB partition.. I may have accidentally formatted it NTFS or FAT, I think FAT32 was default. Anyways, I went into Disk Management and it shows the main 256MB partition, and a 1.90GB unallocated section I can't touch. I keep trying to format the whole thing, but it won't work.



Any ideas?



Thanks.
 
I'm not that familiar with G-Parted, is there a non live CD version, or do I just plug the flash drive in and run the live CD?


Edit: I found one of my G-Parted CDs and gave it a try, and it worked.


Thanks.

Well after I used G-Parted, it showed the flash drive with about 2GB free, I saved the image over, tried booting up with it, it didn't appear to work, so I plugged it back in and it showed 250MB again on my computer..


I might jut end up buying a new 2GB drive, lol.
