Bricked usb stick?
New to easy2boot, could use a hand.
Started out with an ntfs formatted 128gb sandisk ultra dual drive (usb A + C) plugged into usb C, if that makes any difference.
Ran Make_E2B v2.10, selected my drive and clicked 'Make E2B Drive'. Followed the prompts, typed in '1' when it asked me to choose a number, after which the screen turned red and I got a message telling me it couldn't format the drive, format it to fat32 and give it a drive letter - paraphrasing obviously but that's pretty much what it said.
Now the drive is pretty much bricked. I can't use diskpart to clean it - I get an access denied error. I booted up gparted which showed the disk as a raw partition. Created a new partition, formatted it fat32 and applied. Gparted reported this as successful. Put the drive back in windows and it fails to get a drive letter. If I try to give it one in disk management, I get a 'file not found' error?. I can delete the volume and create a new one, but it can't format it as it says it's offline. The disk is reported as being online though.
Any suggestions on how to un-fk this mess greatly appreciated....
Ok wasted far too much time on this.
Nuked the stick with sudo shred -v /dev/sdb
I was then able to create a new partition table, partition, and format to exfat.
Running through the make e2b drive process again and seems to be working this time.
Managing bookmark chaos across accounts was its own special nightmare. Client bookmarks mixed with personal stuff mixed with research. site Saw a tweet from someone praising the bookmark organization per profile and it resonated with my pain. Each profile has its own bookmark bar and history, so my usa client research is neatly organized within each account profile. Finding things takes seconds instead of scrolling through a bookmark dump. The mental clarity from organized browsing is hard to overstate. Information retrieval friction adds up throughout the day, and eliminating it makes everything feel smoother.
