Hi there,
I have ssd enclosure with adata legend 800 m.2 nvme ssd inside. Where I work, we can't print out documents using our industrial printers over the network, so we have to carry thumb drives with us.
The printers only support fat32 drives, my drive is exfat because I work between mac and windows. Therefore I put two partitions on the drive, one is exfat with 900gb and the other one is 30gb fat32. The idea was to put my larger files on the exfat partition and the files to print on the fat32 partition. Unfortunately, the printers can't recognize either partition. I know for a fact, that fat32 has to work because everyone at work has fat32 drives. Maybe only the first, larger partition is recognized, which would be exfat and can't be accessed, so the printer doesn't even try to open the other one...Is there any solution? Or should I just format the whole drive to fat32?
Thanks in advance!
