After digging a bit, it turns out that the upgrade completely nuked my USB drive. I have around 70% of bad sectors, and it is impossible for me to format it (tried with GParted and windows) or do anything. It's dead.
So I was wondering, is doing a dist-upgrade on a Kali live a bad idea or did I just have bad luck?
Thanks!
You tried to reformat it with diskpart in windows?
easy to start; hard to finish
