Well there are lots of different programs that allow you to change partitions. I know that the first time you go through it, it may seem a little daunting, but trust me, there is nothing to it - especially if you're not concerned about the data. I don't know how much you know about what partitions are, but have a look here. After that, Knoppix comes with qtparted, which works very well. Fire it up, to see what partitioning you have on your key. The odds are very good, that if you did not do anything to it after your purchase, then it has only one partition, and I would even go so far as to say that it is probably FAT32 type.
Good luck.
