[NOOB]Question Regarding Fixing a Partition Table of a USB?

I have a 16gb usb stick which had a live version of kali 1.1. I wanted to install kali sana , so I formatted the drive using minitool and installed it using Universal USB installer. When I tested the usb it wasn't booting! Upon checking it I found that the partition table was corrupt!! Anybody here knows how can I deletethe existing partiton table and create a new one???

PS: I know how to do it on windows using diskpart , but I want to learn to do this on linux!!
