Hi,
The live USB (USB install in the case of openSUSE) were created using dd. They were after that formatted using Gparted.
I guess it's a you say: Gparted is lazy (just as I am) and didn't wipe everything clean (well, most likely because I didn't care to do it since it worked "just fine").
Cheers, Pierre.

You successfully destroyed any possibility to investigate and fix it. Do not complaint when you see it again next time ...
He has more sticks with that problem :-)
If you want to investigate, just burn an ISO image to a stick, then partition and format as FAT. Oh, but we probably need to use the same tools as he used for formatting. What did you use, Pierre?
To avoid this happening again, just write a hundred megabytes of zeroes to the raw stick from its start to erase an ISO. Maybe 10 Mb suffices, maybe 1 Mb.
I have seen this problem before.

if you read the openSUSE instructions on making a "live" usb stick, you will find there are also instructions on recovering the usb stick to use for normal file storage. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
