usb bootable flag not cleared by gparted but cleared by Windows

Model: Lexar USB Flash Drive (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 64.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags: 

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
 1 1049kB 64.0GB 64.0GB primary ext4

With this disk inserted the system cannot boot because it is not a system disk but is being picked up by the boot.

I tried to reset the boot flag clearing the flag column in gparted 0.32.0 but after applying the change, the system still picked it up as a bootable drive.

I deleted the partition and re-wrote it. No difference.

I eventually managed to clear the boot flag by formatting in Windows 10.

There must be a way of doing this in Ubuntu. Is there a menu item in gparted that forces this? Or is there another utility I could have used?

  Take a look at askubuntu.com/questions/131168/how-do-i-uninstall-grub/… , I think this answers your question.

  @mook765 I see how that is applicable here, but I'm looking for a Unix utility that will perform a low level format as the Windows format does. Grub, as far as I know, is a logical partition (or some such segment) of the physical storage medium. A low-level format will overwrite any such logical partitioning. I should not have to go to Windows for this, and I'm sure I don't. So what utility in Unix will perform this essential operation. ElStellino says he will wipe the drive totally... That's what I had to go to windows for. There has to be another way.
