You could try 'lsblk /dev/<device>' and see what that outputs, see if that
helps make sense of a) the device's partition layout and b) any filesystems
on those partitions. For example:
root@fedora:~# lsblk /dev/nvme0n1
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
nvme0n1 259:0 0 953.9G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 600M 0 part /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 1G 0 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 952.3G 0 part /home
/
And then 'lsblk -f /dev/<device>' to show what's known about filesystems:
# lsblk -f /dev/nvme0n1
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID
FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINTS
nvme0n1
├─nvme0n1p1 vfat FAT32 DC0B-5B4B
579.7M 3% /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2 ext4 1.0
3352353a-c664-4631-aec0-82ba2ceec4bc 614.8M 30% /boot
└─nvme0n1p3 btrfs fedora_localhost-live
96a27e82-57ae-4b15-9beb-f5c856c2638b 831.6G 13% /home
/
I suspect if you've formatted the disk on Windows you'll have NTFS or
exFAT?
