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