Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
I've recently bought a Seagate Expansion portable drive (1 TB) and I have
problems in choosing the correct file system and pastition ID. (Formating the
drive)
I've currently selected ID 83 (linux) and ext4. My system recognize the
device with no problem,
I think NTFS is still the best choice. I also remember there was a tool for
Windows to read and write to ext-systems.
You might want to try Ext2Fsd. It is a driver for Ext2/3/4 supporting all
versions of Windows from 2000 to 8, and i think it's free software under the
GPL.
If you format your USB HDD ext3 then other people who use legacy
systems can access them if they search DuckDuckGo for
microsoft windows ext fs
apple mac os x ext fs
There's no need to compromise your own software freedom. I suggest
you recommend they upgrade to Trisquel as a first move as
