Libreelec wants to create new drive

    I downloaded the USB creator. Read and followed all instructions. Now I am hosed. I formatted a 16gb USB stick which was assigned the drive letter F. USB creator kept telling me I had to format the drive. I run USB Creator and it has created another drive assigned to letter E. Except drive E is also my optical drive. What gives? Cannot delete Libreelec drive E. My devices list has TWO E drives on it. How do I delete LibreELEC once and for all?

    As a graphic artist I have used computers daily since 1986. With the introduction of RedHat in 1994, I have occasionally tried to install various Linux distros. Not a one has ever worked as advertised!

    The Creator app has no code to assign drive letters. That function is solely done by Windows itself when it auto-detects a filesystem on the inserted USB stick. So please direct your pithy ire towards Microsoft who have been authoring that kind of problem for their consumers for about the same lenght of time you've been using computers.

    I've no idea what specificially happend or what the underlying Windows problem is, or even what version of Windows you have (seems you are too busy telling stories to give useful facts) but every version since Windows 95 has a 'Computer Management' control panel and this has a filesystems section that allows your to reformat devices and add/change/deletion the current drive letter assignments.

    NB: Once you create LibreELEC install media you need to boot from the USB stick and the installer will guide you through the process of installing to an internal drive. Once you select an install target the installer will ask you multiple times to confirm that you want to overwrite and destroy existing content on the drive, but if you keep hitting yes, it will do that. I'm mentioning because you sound like the kind of Windows user whose next post in this forum will be complaining that our installer hosed your entire Windows install.

    I'm also going to point out that Kodi has a perfectly good native Windows app, which might be your easiest option.
