Linux drive resets after reboot

[Rylyguy]

Hi. I just made a bootable Linux flash drive with Linuxfx as I wanted to try it. Every time I’ve used Linux I’ve installed it to the hard drive. But this time I just want to run it from the flash drive. I was wondering if there was a way to stop the drive from resetting itself to stock if I shut down or reboot. TIA

I think then you will need to install the os to the flash drive if you haven't done this yet

You need to setup persistant storage. Rufus should be able to do this for you.

I’ve flashed the os the drive if that’s what you mean. Or do you mean go through the install menu and select the flash drive

I tried setting up persistent storage with Rufus twice. Both times it got to formatting 100% and sty’s there
