Format disk in 14.04

Question

I remember using Disk Utility to format disks and USBs in 12.04.

Now, after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04, I can't seem to find the Disk Utility application.

How do I format disks in 14.04?

Looking for applications that are installed by default to carry out this task

This is one more application the Gnome folks shredded. It is still there, but with reduced functionality and usability. I suggest you use GParted instead, this one they haven't touched yet. — Luís de Sousa, Jun 04 '14 at 07:21

Where can I partition the drive? – callmekatootie Jun 04 '14 at 07:15
"Edit partition" or click the minus sign to remove the selected partition. – LiveWireBT Jun 04 '14 at 10:32
