Most USB drives are formatted with the venerable but widely used FAT32 file system. One limitation is that FAT32 will not allow a file to be bigger than 4 GB; could you have created an empty file on the drive? It's best to simply format the drive and leave it empty; the software that creates the bootable iso file on the drive will take care of the rest.
Ubuntu has a link on how to create a bootable USB drive from Ubuntu itself, Windows, or Mac OS: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#2-requirements Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: ubuntu-studio-users-requ...@lists.ubuntu.com To: ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Monday, May 11, 2020 1:59:11 PM Subject: ubuntu-studio-users Digest, Vol 157, Issue 10 Send ubuntu-studio-users mailing list submissions to ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ubuntu-studio-users-requ...@lists.ubuntu.com You can reach the person managing the list at ubuntu-studio-users-ow...@lists.ubuntu.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-studio-users digest..."

Message-ID: <22503284.2597942.1589199653...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hello again. I have 2 x 16Gb USB Drives, and am trying to create a 32Bit Install of Studio and also a 4:2o Install. I've downloaded the last 32 bit .iso for support purposes etc. The problem I have when I format the usb drives in either windows or 4:2o, they are only showing a max of 3.5 Gigs or so for each drive. I'm assuming it's undeleted stuff previously on the drive. How do I either retrieve what was previously on the drive {Not Essential I retrieve what was there} Is there an easy way to Format the drives so the full 16 Gigs are available on each drive? And how then to produce a bootable USB drive that also Windows recognises. tia, Alex. -- From: Alex & AsLan & Klaudia & Mr. Fester; The Armani Family. http://Www.AlexArmani.com tB.xx -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
