I created a USB drive in Ubuntu Linux, but it isn't functioning properly on Windows 10.
I was working with a 64GB USB stick for Ubuntu Server setup and saved it on Ubuntu as ext4. Later, I converted it to FAT32 on Windows and used Rufus to package it for installation. When trying to install Ubuntu Server on another system, I reformatted it on Windows 10. After waiting roughly half an hour (attempting NTFS with GPT table), the process stalled and I had to stop working. The following day I tried using parted on Ubuntu Server to format it with a GPT label.
Windows communicates solely with NTFS, whereas Linux can handle various file systems... actually NTFS, FAT and exFAT
Following the command "create partition primary," the system displays this message. No available free space was detected for the requested partition size and location. It seems there isn't enough room to form a partition at that extent. Try adjusting the size and offset values or leave them blank to generate the largest possible partition. The disk might be using the MBR format, and it could have either four primary partitions (no further ones allowed) or three primary partitions with one extended partition (only logical drives permitted).
The command displays the available space on the disk. If the drive doesn’t show the correct capacity or was formatted improperly on Linux, you might need another tool to restore it. This situation occurred once, requiring a DOS formatting utility for recovery. Windows supports NTFS, ExFAT, and FAT32 formats, while additional software can handle EXT file systems and NFS shares.
Yes, it's merely a small USB stick with no data stored, and we're attempting to preserve it rather than protect critical information from a poorly structured hard drive.
The usual type of SD cards used was FAT32. They have strict maximum sizes if you try to go beyond them.
