As long as your drive uses NTFS, Linux builds should work fine with your disk.
The command `bcdedit /enum` lists the available boot devices. It returns a list of devices in the format specified by the system. Ensure your USB is connected to a USB2.0 port, as this can affect the output. Refer to the article for more details on partitioning requirements.
