[member=7079]Searchernow[/member]  how did you burn the .iso into the USB stick in the first place?

Dealing with the 2 worst offenders, a usb stick and an SD card - I didn't see them in File Manager (and I chose show hidden files..) but I went on to gparted anyway...

thanks for the mention of the drop menu in dear gparted, I hadn't seen that, they were there ok, one at a time, and now are both clean fat32!

Success!

One curious thing - in file manager>devices I see they show the full 16gb and 4gb - usually they'd be a bit less than the "nominal" capacity, should there be another small partition for some function?

Anyway, thanks to all of you for sticking with me, and making me stick with it. Life on earth just got a little less expensive, I'll celebrate with a trip around the sun.  8)

Re: my comment "one curious thing .."

Sorry - it's ok, in dear gparted the correct capacity is shown, 3.7gb for the "4gb" usb etc.

Thanks again.

And for anyone considering Linux Lite - I got 5 helpers for my query, where else would you get it!

And the problem was down to my own lack of experience, not the OS itself.
