Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

how to recover the usb key with nvoc installed ? can't format this :-(

thanks

On windows I'm assuming, easy way is this way

Launch command line in administrator status
type "diskpart"
list disk (find the one that is your USB key
select disk # (# is the one you see from the list disk)
clean
Go to computer management it will now show up to format, click on it new simple format.
Profit!

I use this windows GUI tool for wiping thumb drives. Make sure you check the box for "perform quick wipe."

It's from HDD Guru, the same folks who make the HDD Raw Copy Tool imaging software OP recommends.

i don't like anything that has so many tiers and trials and shit - looks sketchy as hell.

just use rufus it's been used for years to wipe drives and proven track record of being safe

Tiers and trials? It's freeware. Just click continue.

I've been in systems admin for 20 years and use this tool professionally. It's not sketch at all, LOL. I netstat my system all the time looking for rogue network activity and have never found a problem with HDD LLF. I initially found this tool when I had a flash drive that windows refused to format and this fit the bill.

I will say I do like rufus though, so at least we can agree on that. That's what I use for creating pen linux images. Rufus doesn't offer low level format though. HDD LLF does.
