from windows you can try rawrite32.exe thats what I use. https://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/download.html might sound like a long shot, but worth a try at least. I have had Qubes usb problems myself cause either bad drive or not enough space. one time everything worked right and I was just missing a kernel I wanted to install from the repos, or for some reason I had a different default kernel, and i coudln't figure out why lol. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
