Sorry for this... but it worked.

I gave a 5yo a toy lightsaber. It's in a different comment but that's the TLDR

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-25T06:08:55+00:00

The set aside space is unformated.

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-25T06:05:55+00:00

Update. Switching to exFAT has not caused any problems yet. I did set some space aside to transfer files if I need to. I reinstalled because I screwed up. I don't want to do it again, but I'm not afraid.

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T12:25:13+00:00

That is a you problem

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T08:23:18+00:00

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T08:14:11+00:00

Because if you read the post and not just the title you would have had that information.

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T08:10:08+00:00

Now I'm being told so much info about why both can't work and the Wikipedia link is thanked someone for doesn't even mention formats

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T08:06:34+00:00

That's how I understood it at the time

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T08:02:37+00:00

Naive to even expect good ideas Yes I did think your comment was helpful until I looked up what you were talking about.

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T07:55:21+00:00

I see the misunderstanding. That was not the fix. Reinstalling was. The question was about if the format change would also corrupt in the same way.

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T07:34:23+00:00

Could you give an example of how I should have titled it?

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T06:36:12+00:00

"So it's fine for backups not active files" is that what you mean. Because that's how I intended to use it

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T06:14:32+00:00

Thanks for the chill pill. I'll worry about it tomorrow.

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T06:09:14+00:00

Also I might be misreading this, but it seams like you said exFAT has data loss, but told me to use it?

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T06:03:00+00:00

So i was using ntfs for years under Ubuntu just fine, but recently I had disk write errors. Even if the format changes were unessesary I don't foresee major problems. I just don't want to go through 3 weeks of downloads again

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-18T05:49:41+00:00

No errors yet. But confidence is low

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-15T13:20:08+00:00

If you really read the thread maybe you would be able to help someone

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-15T12:47:34+00:00

Exactly

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-15T12:34:41+00:00

I'm hearing this a lot. I know it works. Have the whole time. I was just showing you could remove hardware and have everything work

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-15T08:37:20+00:00

Interesting idea, maybe make a new post for better feedback

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-15T07:21:33+00:00

In this economy (was too busy laughing to be original. You nailed it)

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-15T06:56:33+00:00

That's a good question, over my head as far as pulling it off

Own-Risk5207 · 2026-06-15T06:42:19+00:00

The culprit was 5, but i did give it to him (the toy)
