OK being an expert in hyperbole... I recognize this as such. There's no way making a bootable USB stick destroys it. What you're probably experiencing is confusing elsewhere as a result of the whacky hybrid partition scheme that's used on Fedora ISOs. To clean it up you have to wipe the first 3 sectors to remove all three partition schemes; but you're maybe better off just zeroing the first 1MiB. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<stick> bs=1M count=1 The new Fedora Media Writer will recognize this hybrid partition scheme on a USB stick and offer to reset it for you. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
