Can't Find a USB Drive to Wipe It
Post Body

Hi yall,

So I spent a little while installing TAILS when and then, at the final step, the bootable wouldnt work as the file wasnt "authorized".

Only then did I find out that Kingston drives dont work.

So I plan on getting a different drive, but until then, it would be real great to be able to find this drive in the computer to wipe it considering it's 64gb and thats a lot of wasted space.

Unfortunately, I can find it in device manager (on an HP Windows 10 pro laptop), but cannot find the drive anywhere else to format it. Does anyone know anything that might help?

I understand this isnt quite a TAILS specific issue, more a bootable one in general, but I hope someone here has tried to wipe a drive of TAILS before, lol.
