1417598 2016-03-15 22:18:00 Downloaded Linux to USB Drive and I must have made an error somewhere because it tells me I have a corrupt kernel. I thought I would reformat the usb and start again but now my

computer won't recognize this particular USB or ANY of my USB drives. I sure need some help in solving this problem please.

1417599 2016-03-15 22:27:00 Do other devices work in the USB Ports?, have you tried a port on the rear? Have the drives been formatted by windows or using a utility to create a bootable Linux drive?

Linux uses a different file system so it's not unusual for a Linux drive to not show up in windows, try disk management and see if they show up in there.
Or try this www.partition-tool.com haven't used this one myself but it looks like the right thing.
