Hello,

After formatting my USB drive, it is no longer visible.
Normally, once plugged in, I should see it on the left side of the screen.

Could you please help me?

Thank you

Configuration: Linux / Chrome 80.0.3987.132

Hi!
Thank you for your message.
The problem is that my key doesn’t appear at all in the dropdown menu on the right.
It’s as if it’s not recognized at all.
What should I do to install gparted?
I apologize, as I’m a bit of a novice on Ubuntu :-)

Thank you for everything.
Stéphane

Oh yes, I forgot, the dropdown menu is on the left for me (where there are all the icons like file, Google Chrome, VLC, Steam, and external hard drives, etc.)
It may not be important, but I thought I’d mention it so we’re talking about the same thing
:-)

No, we're not talking about the same thing at all.

To install gparted, in the terminal type: 
sudo apt update

then 
 sudo apt install gparted


Once gparted is installed, launch it (in the system tools menu), you will get this window:

Select your USB drive from the dropdown list in the top right (where it says /dev/sda in the screenshot). /dev/sda is usually the internal hard drive; your USB drive is named /dev/sde according to what was mentioned earlier in this post.

Then click on the Device menu in the gparted window (you can see it in the screenshot) and this is where you create the new partition table...

I'm also providing the link to the French documentation for gparted:
