As the title. If I try to look at disk management with the stick plugged in, disk management crashes. The computer takes about 5 minutes to shut down with it connected, and about 20 seconds with it plugged in. Haven't noticed this before. Any thoughts?
 
Might try this. I've no interest in windows accessing the drive, however it did try to chkdsk it as a fat32 volume when I turned the computer on. Ill install the drivers :)

Or not. Appears that it disregards file permissions, and since the usb stick has a working installation of ubuntu on it I think I would regret this.

Cheers anyway :)
