I have a USB stick which I recently used to dd an iso to it so that I could use that stick as a booting drive. Now, I would like to store regular files there.
When using parted I constantly get this message:
Warning: /dev/sdb contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table? Yes/No? yes
Error: Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted's rescue feature to recover partitions.
I am searching for how can I make a fresh table with parted but I cannot find it. I would like to remove everything in that drive, create just one partition and use ext4 file system to be able to store files. Is that not possible with GNU parted?
You should try solutions in https://askubuntu.com/questions/249642/gpt-partition-table-warning-message-during-install-of-ubuntu.
