I just created a persistent live USB of ElementaryOS on a 32GB USB stick by following this awesome guide.



The problem is that mkusb should let you use the remaining space as an usual storage USB stick as stated in the community wiki:




The rest of the drive space is used for storage compatible with Windows




... the problem is that it doesn't, Windows 10 sees that FAT32 partition as unusable and asks me to format it. The Windows's disk management tool is not able to format it, change letter or anything else (though it correctly show me the partitions that mkusb has created in the USB drive).



I tried also on OSX and on ElementaryOS and I have no issues there, I can correctly mount, read and write in the storage partition.

    I will look into the problem, and to be successful I need some information from you. [To begin with] I ask for the linux distro (Elementary?) and version, where you have installed Ubuntu. If this is considered off-topic here, I suggest that you post a reply at this thread at the Ubuntu Forums, and we can continue the dialogue there.

  • Hello @sudodus, thank you for yuor response and thank you for mkusb, it is a fantastic tool! I followed the procedure from a live installation of Elementary OS 0.4.1 Loki and I installed the very same version of Elementary OS on a second, bigger usb stick using mkusb. I tried it again but no luck, Windows sees the big partition as unusable

  • Which big partition is unusable? Partition #1 with the NTFS file system and the label usbdata? It should be readable and writable by Windows. But partition #5 with the ext4 file system and the label casper-rw can not be managed by Windows, or should we say, Microsoft does not want to recognize linux file systems.

How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
