You're facing a common issue when trying to boot Linux on an old USB drive. It's not unusual for formatting problems or compatibility issues to arise, especially with older hardware. The fact that Windows 10 doesn't recognize the USB suggests there might be a driver or file system mismatch. To fix it, you could try using a different USB drive, checking your USB's drivers, or using a bootable Linux installation media.

No, I'm not using Rufus to set up the "Linux drive."

Can resolve the issue using DiskPart from Blackmore Ops documentation.

I don't recall the steps, and I don't have Rufus installed.

Did you format it before installing Linux and use FAT32? If yes, it could be the reason files aren't accessible for regular users. Otherwise, I don’t have other suggestions right now, but I’m open to ideas. Hope this helps!

If you didn't use Rufus first, it could be because of unstable software causing USB issues. Try installing Rufus, format the ISO there, and it should work fine. Hope that helps!
