Greetings, folks.
I would not be posting anything if I did not have a nasty newbie problem.
I'm mainly writing to confirm my suspicions.
I tried running Ventoy2Disk.exe yesterday and it seemed to start OK for a few seconds. I have Acronis protection and it stopped the ventoy in it tracs, giving me this message box:
[attachment=690]
I presume this is when Ventoy tried to create an MBR on the USB drive, not on my main hard drive. This is what I need to be assured of so that I can take certain steps. If Acronis is just a road block I can surely disable the [dis]service while I try again. (I'll probably post that question on an Acronis forum.)
In the process it also seems to have bricked my USB drive.
Windows will not recognize it more that a beep when I insert it; it no longer shows up on the list of drives when I open "This PC". (Using Windows 11). Hmmm... I wonder if it will be recognized when I boot Linux. As above, the process of un-bricking the USB is beyond the scope of this forum, though if someone has a solution that has worked, I'd appreciate hearing form you. (Google has provided a gazzillion solution that don't match what I see when I open the dialogs.)
Thanks for help with this.
