<div dir="ltr">in my other thread I looked at a gparted report. Well it had something related to this thread. In the report it is mentioned that file system type is ext4 but that the partition table is msdos. Does that matter.How should it be fixed if it does?<div><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:medium">========================================</p><table style="border:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:medium"><tbody><tr><th style="text-align:left">Device:</th><td>/dev/sdb</td></tr><tr><th style="text-align:left">Model:</th><td>SanDisk Ultra</td></tr><tr><th style="text-align:left">Serial:</th><td></td></tr><tr><th style="text-align:left">Sector size:</th><td>512</td></tr><tr><th style="text-align:left">Total sectors:</th><td>240353280</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr><tr><th style="text-align:left">Heads:</th><td>255</td></tr><tr><th style="text-align:left">Sectors/track:</th><td>2</td></tr><tr><th style="text-align:left">Cylinders:</th><td>471280</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr><tr><th style="text-align:left">Partition table:</th><td>msdos</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr></tbody></table><table style="border:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:medium"><tbody><tr><th style="text-align:left">Partition</th><th style="text-align:left">Type</th><th class="gmail-number_col" style="text-align:right">Start</th><th class="gmail-number_col" style="text-align:right">End</th><th style="text-align:left">Flags</th><th style="text-align:left">Partition Name</th><th style="text-align:left">File System</th><th style="text-align:left">Label</th><th style="text-align:left">Mount Point</th></tr><tr><td>/dev/sdb1</td><td>Primary</td><td class="gmail-number_col" style="text-align:right">2048</td><td class="gmail-number_col" style="text-align:right">240353279</td><td></td><td></td><td>ext4</td><td></td><td>/media/michael/5d19820a-dfe9-4a0f-8593-9339e9b4ecd2</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:medium">========================================</p><table style="border:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Times New Roman";font-size:medium"><tbody><tr></tr></tbody></table><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 16, 2023 at 8:41 PM Michael <<a href="mailto:bmike1@gmail.com">bmike1@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Okay, I spent the last thirty minutes copying all the files from the fat fomatted drive to a folder on the desktop.
