Just to make things more complicated. A couple of days ago a friend gave me a USB stick and asked me to set it up to install a version of Linux. So I said I would have a go.On 29/03/2019 23:06, mr meowski wrote:Neil further to this can you try a few of your (faulty) USB devices and post the output of: sudo parted /dev/sdX print for each one after you've plugged it in? Change "sdX" to whatever as appropriate - it would be /dev/sdb in your example above. For comparison include the output of 'sudo parted /dev/sda print' which will show the details of your main system drive. Cheers
That stick worked perfectly. I was able to read what was on there already, no longer wanted. Then I installed MX Linux on to it from an iso file, using etcher. It all worked perfectly. So I can pass the stick back for him to try out Linux.
