Just copy it to the drive you're working with at the moment, and after
you're done, delete it from that drive. (Save your work to the hard
drive also, and copy the result back to the flash drive; then delete
it from the hard drive.)

Because saving to an external drive is _always_ risky.

I know nothing about Merge specifically, but doing it from a removable
drive is begging for trouble.

Copy whatever is on the flash drive to the hard drive you're using,
and it might work better.

Who ever developed the absolute addressing instead of relative

Any clues how to work around this?-
