The command Sandshark (lsblk) provided does not function in Tech Support Mode.
FWIW, it was my suggestion. But good to know, as other users will likely run into this. Tech support Mode is missing a lot of commands.
I think in most cases the USB drive will be right after the last internal disk (so sde1 if there are 4 drives in the system), and the flash will be the one after that. But "most cases" isn't the same as all cases. sdc1 was the drive in Sandshark's writeup because he was testing on a Pro 2 (presumably with two drives installed).
But this might not be always true, and it is important to find the correct drive.
