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.
