can Windows.iso destroy my USB stick?
Since Windows.iso didn't fit on a DVD I just copied it to an USB stick. At the end of copying an error message appeared. After that I could read what was on the stick, but my stick has become write protected. I did everything I could find on internet, including formatting and GParted (Linux) to no avail. A short moment I even saw that the drive was classified as "boot". But always access was denied. I have thrown the stick away in the bin.
My question is: is it possible that my drive became corrupted just by copying Windows.iso to it or was my drive accidentally end-of-life?
