Installation issues Wiping a persistence off a USB suddenly makes the entire USB unrecognized within windows

3 Upvotes

Just a warning/rant. Tails was many many versions behind and instead of fkn with all that tryna get latest update, decided to just import keys over to different usb and then delete persistence and have a clean install done over again. Well the usb has worked fine for quite awhile now, as soon as I do that now suddenly the USB doesn’t appear in devices when plugged in, making it so formatting and reinstalling tails on it isn’t possible.

I know it’s not my Pc cause it still recognizes the other usb when plugged in. And then when I go to boot using alternative device within bios, both usb’s still show up, but the one I want tails on just won’t show up when actually inside windows.. lowk annoying af

Hi 👋

On Tails OS, I connected tor and in the tor browser I wanted to check wether I am connected tor or not , I searched check.torproject.org in the search bar and it is showing that sorry. You are not using tor although I searched what is my ip? It shows different countries and locations, so please guide me if it is safe or not to use. Thanks
