    USB no longer recognized by computers


    About a year ago I used Universal USB Installer to install the Ubuntu Desktop ios onto my USB. Computers no longer recognize it as far as I can tell. It doesn't appear as a device with removable storage when I open the My Computer folder. I've tried putting it into another computer and the same thing happens.

    Hi welcome to SF

    sounds like the usb stick is faulty and need a new one as you said it doesn't work on other computers.
