Reply to list. Got it.
As to the 11mb 'system partition', I prematurley anticipated the first partition to be a gpt 'bios boot partition' which in actuality is 1mb. As to the debian major / minor refers to debian 13 (major) and 5 (minor) because I wasn't sure precisely what I had.
the partition would be something to that effect, no?

I am seeing an on Windows an 11 MB partition unallocated followed by 4 MB esp and a final unallocated partition with apparently no data on it. Now I know I have data on the remaining partition, but it doesn't seem to be defined in any particular way. Windows disc genius and Linux gparted both show a single space undefined about 28 GB.
Show terminat output or screen shots please. Your interpretation here isn't what we need to see. Also: exactly which image are you using?
I'm expecting to see the 11 megabyte partition for system compatibility and 4 MB for ESP and any amount that would fit the data for the Debian system I figure anywhere from 4 gb to the rest of the 32 gb device with a definable start and finish for the third partition, traditionally named Debian major and minor.
You're making no sense at all here, I'm afraid. What on earth do you mean by "11 megabyte partition for system compatibility"? Or "traditionally named Debian major and >minor"?
