Try again, keeping a watch on dmesg to see if it gets far enough to export USB storage (even for a few seconds). = = = = I am expecting to receive a new computer with Win8.1-Pro pre-installed within a few hours. But that doesn't mean I want to spend any more time with it than to learn how to delete it from the ssd. Last edited by knc1; 09-14-2015 at 09:39 AM. |

States that PW not supported?
"Installs a pristine 3.4 (K3), 4.1.1 (K4), or 5.1.2 (KT) firmware; other devices (K1, K2, KDX, Paperwhite) are not supported!" Should I try it anyway? |

I did not mean for you to use the Wizard to de-brick your Kindle. I only mean for you to run Linux (rather than Win8) and escape from the Wizard to the command line by pressing F4. At that time, you are running a Linux OS in ram (does not touch anything installed on your PC). Then you have a chance of dealing with devices that come and go too quickly for Windows. |

That is something. Give us a bit more information please, such as: Manufacturer's name and model of the computer your using so we can look-up its technical details. If not that easy to find, then try to get us a link to the device's description page or sales page. Kubrick has been posted for over 2-1/2 years and you don't see that thread flooded with "does not work" posts. So it is fairly safe to guess that it is something about the machine your trying to run it on. One hint you already gave (IIRC) is that this device runs Win8.1 = So one of the technical details of interest is the make and model name/number of the processor. If Win8.1 - you can find that on the PC device info page. (yes, that could make a difference in a machine using UEFI boot rather than legacy boot.) Last edited by knc1; 09-16-2015 at 09:29 AM. |

You may get that one before I figure out how to boot (and have it run) on a Win8.1 machine. |
