Recover a lost partition on a USB flash drive (after using it for boot)

Question

I used wintoflash to create a bootable device from my USB flash drive.

It had 8GB, and now I can see only 2GB.

I tried using win 7 default disk management utility but it can't merge the partitions.

Any advice how to do it ?

Copy off important data, then delete both partitions, then format it.

	Thanks you. How do you delete a partition on a USB? (the software on win 7 doesn't offer it - it does only for normal HD) – Tal Galili Jul 19 '10 at 3:38
	The partitions should show up in Disk Management (it does for my usb drives), delete them there. – Moab Jul 19 '10 at 15:03
