Why bother with a partition table > if you don't want to partition the device? It had an M$ partition when I bought it. I replaced that with 4 partitions because using a 2/3.2 port took > 10 h to write a 256 GB filesystem & fail, whereas it took only 2 h 45 m to write a 64 GB partition & fail. FYI I bought 4 Kingston 128 GB sticks in 2023 & had no problem with them. At that time, the store didn't offer 256 GB sticks. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatcadotinterdotnet
