option then make sure to have the 'Compatible with modern systems and hard drives > 2TB (GPT)' selected (you can use either the Quick option or the Slow option). First left-click on the drive on the left side then left-click on the top right menu with three dots (three lines on older releases). In this screenshot the drive is a USB Flash Drive, though the concept is the same for any drive, including the drive where your OS is installed. Disks comes pre-installed on Pop!_OS and Ubuntu. These two utilities comes preinstalled with most Linux distributions. As the name implies, mkfs.vfat will format an USB drive in FAT, and mkfs.ntfs will format the USB drive in NTFS format. The Disks application can be used to format the drive to remove any personal data. The following are the two commands that I use throughout this guide to format the USB drives in FAT or NTFS format. See this article for instructions to boot into the Pop!_OS recovery partition.
The existing operating system can be repaired or reinstalled from the recovery mode. It can be used exactly the same as if a live disk copy of Pop!_OS was booted from a USB drive. The Recovery Partition is a full copy of the Pop!_OS installation disk. See this article for instructions to create a bootable Pop!_OS live USB.

However, the file system is not supported by many older systems.In order to format the drive that has your OS on it we will need to boot from either a live disk or the Pop Recovery partition.
In theory, data capacity of up to 2 TB is possible, but Microsoft has limited the partition size in newer systems to 32 GB in order to promote the modern NFTS format.ĮxFAT is a further development of FAT that in principle offers unattainable storage and data capacity. The maximum data size is limited to 4 GB in the latest version FAT32. It is not supported by many applications.įAT is a file system developed by Microsoft that is also supported by Linux and macOS. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with the addition that the file system can differentiate between upper and lower case (e.g. HFS+ or Mac OS Extended (case-sensitive and journaled) Windows/Linux devices are only able to read but not write on USB sticks in this format. A file system developed by Apple that is particularly suited to data media with large memory capacity.
