Select the disk by using the command select disk X where X is the number of your disk from the previous command. You will want to be 100% sure of your selection here because the following commands will wipe ALL DATA from whichever disk you select.
You can usually identify it based on the sizes listed. Now determine which of these is your Linux disk. The Diskpart command line application will open.įirst, type list disk to show all of the disks connected to the PC. Launch command prompt or Powershell, run the command diskpart. (normally this isn't a problem, I just format the USB to FAT32 with gparted on a linux machine, but yesterday I was stuck with only a windows machine and only one Linux-USB and I needed an USB)įormat linux USB drive in Windows (not visible in file explorer) If I open cmd, then diskpart, the same thing happens: an endless loop with the windows from #2. If I try to format from that window, the windows appears again and interrupts itself in an endless loop. When I try to format the Linux-USB, the window from #2 above appear and interrupt the formatting. If I open windows explorer, right click and choose manage, then open disk management - I normally can format an USB. How do I format that Linux-USB in windows so windows can use it?
nothing happens, because windows don't recognize the linux file system. Say that I have created a bootable USB for instaling a linux distro, and then put the USB in a windows computer. Now a window will pop up saying that I need to format the unit before I can use it (and I can format directly from that windows). Say that I have an unformatted USB and put it in a windows computer. If I put the USB in a windows computer, the windows explorer will open and I can access the files. Say that I have an USB with some windows-files.
