I want to format my USB stick to ext2. I have following tools installed. But don't know how to use them for my case:
- Cygwin – I'm just a starter and not surely know how to use. (
mkfs
is also not included.) - Ext2Fsd – Don't know how to format Ext2. I found
Change Partition Type
and there are many types which I don't know.
Can anyone please guide me with steps on any of above tools (or) are there any other solutions?
Partition manager can do it, and it has a trial... – soandos – 2011-07-25T22:00:15.490
What version do you mean? Are you please sure for "USB" drive? Because i have Partition "MAGIC" (not "Manager") 8.0 Version and it also supports Ext2/3 but don't support USB drives.. :( – 4lvin – 2011-07-25T22:09:01.990
Why would you want to format a USB drive as ext2? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2011-07-25T22:19:20.457
partition manager, version 9 could do it, now up to 11 – soandos – 2011-07-25T22:19:43.080
Do you please mean "Paragon" PM, right?? Coz i'm afraid i'll get wrong one as there are a lot Partition Managers out there. – 4lvin – 2011-07-25T22:24:53.747

@IgnacioVazquez-Abrams Possibly for use as a permanent drive in a router for its lack of journaling. – Louis – 2014-06-09T23:28:41.980
