    A cheap USB 3 not showing up consistently (twochi external HD 40GB) but does on linux\booting


    I manage to show the drive once and use Ventoy on it - but it doesn't show the external drive, even when windows 10 registers there's a USB 3.0 connected. Any ideas?

    (manage to show it up on windows once and used Ventoy to put a few linux ISOs on it. Now can boot from these constantly using another computer- but would lie to delete and leave one iso \reformat the drive).

    External HD Connection Problem

    I have attached an external HD to my computer running Windows 10 and it will not show up in my drive list. The properties shows it as Seagate.ink - what is an ink file and any suggestions as to how I can get it to work?

    Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


    Suggestion:
    1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
      x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
    2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
    3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
    4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
      NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
