    This happens sometimes. You flashed it in a way that makes Windows not recognize the full drive. Usually happens with dd flashing or Rufus’ dd flash mode. I can’t remember what tool I usually use to fix my USB sticks, but there will be a way.

    Also, just in case, check the computer’s Secure Boot settings in case something changed that won’t let the USB boot anymore.

      it happened with etcher, and then continued to happen with rufus. i didn’t even try dd flash mode at first.

      what’s crazy is, it WORKED ONCE. ONCE!

      I almost wonder if windows somehow detected that another OS ran on the silicon and said “ohhhh no you fucking don’t, FUCK YOU ONLY I GET TO BE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM!!!”
