So, I have a 8GB USB thumbrive I am trying to format so I can use all 8 (or 7.27 to be exact) GB in a single partition. The drive already has a 943 MB partition, which I figured I could extend to use the full 7.27 GB but this does not seem to be the case
As you can see, the Extend volume option is greyed out.
Also notice the Delete volume is greyed out..
If I right click on the 6.35 GB volume, which is currently unallocated I get the following
All of the options are greyed out on the Unallocated volume!
What tool can I use to remove the existing partition and create a new partition that uses the entire 7.27 GB in a single volume?

Windows will not let you partition removeable storage devices. You must delete all of the partitions and make a new, full size one outside of Windows. I recommend the GParted Live CD.
