You have to reformat the old SanDisk thumb drive. There is probably a way to do it in Windows but I have not found it. The regular Windows format app doesn't work on drives previously formatted by Tails. My suggestion is to create a Live DVD of a good Linux distro. It will have a GUI USB stick formatter. I know Linux Mint does. Plug in your SanDisk, select FAT32, and reformat. Windows should now show it as 16 GB. There may be a way to reformat USB sticks from Tails but I haven't found that either. Some one else here may know how. _______________________________________________ tails-support mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-support To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
