Welcome to the balena forums @sprejo,

Could you please provide some more information on this?

I guess **balena etcher version** and your **os version** should make a good start here.  
Maybe check if your system can access the USB-stick as well.

Regards Markus

Hi @sprejo  
do you still face the issue?  
If yes can you detail as asked earlier?

- your OS version
- the etcher version you use

in addition clarify your problem. Is it like

- you start etcher and your pendrive plugged to an USB port is not visible in etcher (selecting as a target) or
- you flash the usb stick with etcher then you plug it to your chromeOS computer and the device does not show up in the file manager?

Thanks,  
Peter
