Actually, I dug up info on these CDFS bootable USB drives and it turns out its a pain in the ass to reformat it to use the full capacity again. It involves cracking open the case to find the memory chip model # and reflashing the damn thing. Otherwise, you cannot reformat and partition the CDFS portion of the drive. You can only reformat and partition the chunk of memory thats recognized as mass storage (1.2gb in my case)

I gave up and chucked it in the garbage.

God damn cheap ass ebay drives.
