FAT32 limits you to 4gb files max, not ideal for large video files...

oh ya.. Xd oh well.

Just now, adiack said:

this is probably said already but you you could use 2 different partitions if you are ok with that 

ya i did just that

FAT32 is very limited so I would avoid it for an OS drive.

ik but for storage i mean, i can work on it... sadly i can only read and copy from my other drives so would have been useful if i went fat 32 for it.. i mostly work on video files and pdfs so ya... Fat32 wasnt a bad idea

I need to run a windows app (bulk rename Utilty) and a game (andriod) but idk anything about how to get it done. i installed anbox and its not running at all.
Haven't touched on windowss yet.TIA

If you're looking to use a Linux install as a storage partition for Windows, you'll need a filesystem readable by both Windows and Linux without too much problem. The best solution I can come up with is WinBTRFS.

This is a file system driver for Windows written by the reactOS team. It's pretty stable and most of the useful features of btrfs are in it already.

well i could have just used Fat32 then.. oh well.. i thought about it few hours after i installed it.

It's probably better do make a linux partition with the Linux installer and leave the rest empty, then boot Windows and format the remaining space as NTFS.

Thanks for the tip man, now i am editing on Linux and ngl i now have little use for windows now. I frekn love linux. And it worked right away but was too carried away for few days so didn't update it. runs games fairly well (LOL Garena dont work and BRU so Still have to use windows, sad) but ya Linux is very welcoming especially distros like POP OS.

this happens

Just now, Sauron said:

No, there are no file systems that are compatible with Windows and also allow you to install Linux (at least as far as I know) - unless you're willing to partition it. You can partition it in a way that most of the drive would be NTFS and readable from both though while the Linux partition would have to be EXT4 or something like that. The Linux partition will not be accessible from Windows but depending on the size of the drive that may not matter to you.

Thats exactly what i want to do.. should i partition it on linus or on windows?

hmm. Well idk then. Hope you get a fix. also if i find anything i'll let you know

Should I just try to physically unplug it and try a different connector on my MB lol?

ya do that, also those changes couldnt lead to the SSD problem.

Just now, ComfyCube said:

I just formatted the SSD and changed some bios setting, but changing them back didn't help

what exactly did you change

Just now, ComfyCube said:

Thanks. I'm not able to test if i can mount it now, but I don't think I could. (the SSD doesn't show up in either BIOS or GParted now)

damn.. idk how it doesnt even show in BIOS. what exactly did you do till now?

OK so literally new to pop os but i managed to fiqure this one out.. see if it works for you.
search disk
there you should be able to see all your connected drives.

There you can just mount it and done. 
let me know if it works or not.

TIA

Then it's your neighbour probably,ask if he has a PC called "Trust" or "trust-PC".

just now he called and said ur  wifi is  slow.. 

ya it was him lol.

Just now, Vishera said:

That's concerning...

Change password to your router's Wi-Fi and restart it.

if ur also including wifi connects then i have a neighbour who uses my connection. but it never appeared in my network.

should i call ISP about this?   

Just now, berberries said:

basically that's another computer in the house connected to the same network.

but i am the only user, plus this is a dedicated optic fiber line. Does it mean its not?

Just now, Vishera said:

It's a PC that is connected to your local network.

can you elaborate on that
