This depends on kernel buffering and usb stick write speed. You shouldn't have removed the key. Just re-run the tool and really wait until it is complete and everything will be fine. If you want to reset it for another use, run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=10 (where X is the letter corresponding to the stick, you can check with the tool) and you should be able to repartition it (after unplugging and replugging it). -- Frederic Crozat _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
