Hello ladies and gentlemen as a brand new user (installed yesterday on new computer) of Linux in general and Bazzite specifically. I had a bootable USB I was going to use for a different distro before I decided on using Bazzite with another USB.

I decided to use the first one to move my meme collection to the new computer but when I deleted the partition and reallocated it with the highlighted option (the one that is not ms-dos I can not remember the specific name) the drive now seems to have disappeared. When I plug it in now it does not auto detect anything and for the life of me I can not find any drives through Dolphin.

If anyone can tell me how I fucked it up and/or how to find it/ fix it I would be grateful. I can always do it in Windows since I have to set up the old one to access the memes anyway but I would like to know how to do it here for the future. Thanks in advance.

    You probably just formatted with an incompatible filesystem. It would be helpful to know which option you chose, but just make sure it’s ex-FAT, and not FAT16/32.

      I went with the default and apparently it was the right one because the drive popped up to mount and I was able to copy files to it. Thanks for the assistance though I appreciate it. Good to know for the future
