Thank you for not stretching this to 10 - 15 minutes for no reason. Very useful

Eight years later I used a large flash drive to experiment with Linux and found the problem you solved here. After I did my fiddling with Linux I discovered that the drive couldn't be used for any other purpose. With this video I followed step by step and solved the problem, now it is usable again! Thank you very much!

I just want to thank you for all you videos you've made. I learned a lot through every single video. It gave me an interest in technology and now I'm looking into CompTIA Certification. Hope to see an increase in uploads and honestly, you deserve more subs in my opinion.

Dude thank you so much! My flashdrive hops between a Mac and PC a lot so things get wonky when I mess with them. But this clears it all up! You're a savior.
