Format ext4

The following is just one way to format a USB thumbdrive to EXT4, thereby making it compatible with the MarkIV. Most every flavor of linux supports EXT4 formatting.
Download BT5R1 and burn the .iso to a CD. I use deepburner in windows to accomplish this. Put it in and boot it up and startx after logging in (uname/pass=root/toor) Once your in the GUI open a terminal and type:
apt-get install gparted
Then, after its installed, plug in your thumbdrive and type:
gparted &
That will launch the creamy gui of gparted. From the top right dropdown menu select your thumb drive from the list and click the big center box that contains the drive size information. Then click “Delete” button on the top near the left. Then click the “New” button on the top far left. Select Primary and EXT4 from the drop downs. Click OK or whatever and then click “Apply” (the big green checkmark). Enjoy!
!!!!WARNING!!!! Make sure you select your usb thumb drive!! You have been warned.

For those that don't want to use a GUI and download a package. If you uncomfortable with the command line, use the GUI method)
This will DESTROY the current contents. Be warned! If need to figure out how your system detected your USB device type the following after inserting the device (give it about 3-4 seconds to detect)
dmesg | tail
Its likely going to be [sdb]
sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
p - to list current partitions d - to delete n - new partition 1 - first partition Accept the defaults (enter twice) w - write changes
Format EXT4
msfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
