i had a failed WintoUSB process that i cancelled.
on the machine that was running it, i now have a 'clone' of the usb drive that isn't there. (i ejected/removed the usb.)
on the usb itself, it has some directories on it... but they are all 'read only' and have lock icons on them. i tried to use this usb to transfer a file to another machine, but when i got to the other machine, it kept telling me i wasn't allowed to look at the file, that it had a different owner, blah blah blah. i tried to follow the steps to change the owner, but failed.
so...
1: how do i eject/unmount the 'virtual' usb drive wintousb created?
2: how do i undo the 'ownership' of the actual usb drive that wintousb locked ownership of? (besides reformatting? or is that it?)
thanks a bunch!
You said "on the machine that was running it, i now have a'clone' of the usb drive that isn't there.", I'm very sorry, I don't understand what you mean? It is not easy to change the ownership of the files, you may have to reformat the drive.
