Fedora Writer does not recognize USB external disks #787
Comments
|
Can you please provide both logs you find in your documents directory? Those are MediaWriter.txt and MediaWriter-helper.txt. |
|
Actually, MediaWriter-helper.txt won't be there so just the first one please. |

Hello Jan, I only find the FEDORA WRITER MEDIA.txt, I made a bootable USB
with RUFUS. I hope it works. I can't with the FEDORA MEDIA WRITER. I
installed and uninstalled several times.
Thank you

I'm sorry, but you didn't seem to attach the file and I'm not sure you can do that by sending an email. |

I sent to you twice…

Hi @jihaba, as mentioned, if you send a reply over an email, it doesn't attach the file here to the issue, only now when you copied it I can see it, but I would prefer it being attached instead. Anyway, from the log I can see it only found one disk, which is not removable. I assume this is your main disk. There are no other disks reported by Windows, which to me doesn't look like an issue in Fedora Media Writer. I'm now trying to update to Windows 11 24H2 to see if I can reproduce this issue. I'll let you know. Thank you. |

Ok, thanks. I have used NERO to make a DVD with the installer and RUFUS to
make a bootable USB with FEDORA WORKSTATION 41. I have tested it and it
works fine.

I have updated to Windows 11 24H2 and sadly (luckily for me), I couldn't reproduce this issue. It detected two USB flash disks without any issue. Can you share what USB disk it didn't detect? Is that a regular USB flash disk? An USB hard drive? |
|
Regular USB flash disk, 8 Gb, maxell. I tried with others, same result.
Windows detect my USB DISKS but FEDORA WRITER DON'T. Don't worry, as I
mentioned to you I have written the FEDORA INSTALLER using other ways.
Thanks a lot

I'm glad you found a solution, but I care, because I want Fedora Media Writer to work for everyone. I will keep this issue open to see if there are other people having issues with 24H2 update, but since it has worked for me, it's hard to investigate what is going on. One thing you can try is to open Windows Powershell and check what is reported when you type: or from Does this list your USB drives? This is what we use in Fedora Media Writer to detect all disks. |
I am using Windows 11 24 H2. The program does not recognize any externals USB. Wiondows does. What is the problem????
