Moderators mta Posted June 3, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2019 how big is the ISO file? what is the USB flash drive capacity? for those sort of problems in the past, I've just deleted the ISO image on the USB stick and recopied the file over again from the PC drive. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 3, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2019 You do realize that defragmenting a USB flash drive isn't necessary, and has the potential of making it not last as long.
