I'm using the linux Flatpak version of the app, and I was careful to make sure that my USB drive was selected.

I waa using my computer while the MediaWriter was writing to the drive, and I think realized I had my USB drive mounted so I unmounted it. Then I went back to the MediaWriter window and found it had failed, so I clicked on the retry or equivalent button. I then started having issues mounting one of my internal drives, and after troubleshooting, realized that MediaWriter had formatted the internal drive.

Since that drive had my documents, I'm not able to provide a log unfortunately, but I suspect it's related to my unmounting the USB drive during the operation/having it mounted before starting.

I restored from a backup, but unfortunately I did lose some data, so I thought it would be important to report the issue as best I could with what I have. I hope that helps, thank you!
