It is, thanks I’ll try that!

It worked, thanks a lot! What would be the Linux alternative to do that?

Guess I’ll need to keep W10 around haha thanks again

Oh, I see. So you’re saying that, when I have the chance, I should move to a different filesysten and that would avoid me issues as the one in the OP?

Yes, I just learned I can use a different filesystem to avoid (or at least minimize) these issues in future. I tried formatting a portable HDD and I could only pick FAT, that should be OK since I picked “Linux compatibility” or something like that in the format wizard!

I tried formatting an external HDD and I picked FAT, I’ll have to research whether or not that filesystem is good for my needs

That’s very useful, I’ll try it next time, thanks for the tip!

I’ll keep it in mind, but since I’m getting new, bigger drives I think I’ll just wait for and format them directly in the better filesystem. I tried formatting an external HDD and I think I could only pick FAT or NTSC (I’ll double check), hopefully on the internal drives it will be different!

I’m on Pop!

Yes, I’ve basically moved permanently over to Linux and do 99.9% of the things on it. Had to boot Windows for the first time in days only to check whether or not my HDD died after I couldn’t mount it

I’m still in the process of optimizing stuff around Linux (e.g. media drive filesystem) but I’ll get there haha
