RagerX Flash Drive Recovery How-To
If you’ve tried out the Monero mining software RagerX but decided another option was better for your situation due to convenience, hardware compatibility, speed, or just personal preference you’ll have at least one USB drive flashed with the RagerX image.
This how-to will be a windows 10 walk through for bringing your flashed drive back into a single partition ready to be used for whatever you want again.
To do so we’re going to be consolidating the multiple partitions the dirve was split into, as can be seen in explorer when the USB stick is plugged in.
We will be using diskpart
to accomplish this. So open up a command prompt window as an administrator and follow along.
First identify the disk number of the USB stick with the following commands in the CMD prompt admin window.
diskpart
list disk
select disk X
(where X is the number from the preceding step)list partition
Now just select and delete the existing partitions then create a new primary partition as follows.
select partition 1
delete partition override
- … repeat for each partition shown on your disk
Now create the new consolidated partition so we have a single drive.
create partition primary
exit
Now there’s just a single drive shown in explorer.
You’ll be told to format the disk before using it, proceed.
You can use the defaults, click Start.
Click OK.
