Using USB sticks for transfering files to be printed elsewhere I was wondering what formats can be read by windows. I have beeb using FA on a 2 Gb usb stick but formating a 16Gb usb stick runs into problems. Can windows read Linux formats like ext2 or ext4 formats.
I use NTFS. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NTFS.
I think it is the only thing of this size Windows can read. (Maybe also HPFS - I'm not sure) H Also ExFAT - but FAT has sofar worked fine for me, for up to 64Gb.
We just ran into a situation last week where a server running an older version of Windows couldn't read a 16G in NTFS. It wanted to format the blank USB stick. We had to buy another stick and format to Fat32. Worked fine. Windows can't read standard Linux formats. I have two drives in my main laptop. One Linux and one Windows. I can transfer files just fine using Dolphin from Linux to Windows but Windows can't even tell there's anything on the Linux drive. Just sees a blank drive in Windows Explorer. -- Fast is fine, but accuracy is final.
