Topic: [SOLVED] GParted resized FAT32 partition and Windows tin't read information technology
I accept a 32 GB flash drive. It had a 16 GB FAT32 partition. I wanted to extend the partition to employ the entire drive. For some reason Disk Direction in Windows 7 didn't show me the option to resize the partition so I tried using GParted 0.25.0 in Ubuntu xvi.04. The partitioning was resized with no problems reported past Gparted. Withal, when I plugged the flash bulldoze in to my Windows 7 machine Windows wanted me to format the bulldoze. When I plug the drive in to my Ubuntu machine I can browse the directories and files as if at that place is no issue. Seems like in that location is an issue with the segmentation that Ubuntu doesn't care about and Windows won't recognize. How do I fix this?

Re: [SOLVED] GParted resized FAT32 partition and Windows can't read it
That helped a bit. It was interesting to read. Yet, I didn't find articulate step by footstep instructions in the bug report at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759916 for fixing the issue. One person mentioned using Active@ DiskEditor to read the file organisation parameters and enter them in to Testdisk to rebuild but I didn't try that. Some people said just changing the first three bytes on the drive might ready it.
I looked at the drive again in GParted and noticed that there was but an extended partition containing a FAT32 logical sectionalization. There were a few empty unpartitioned megabytes at the outset and end of the bulldoze and no primary partitions. I'1000 guessing the lack of primary partition/southward is the thing Windows doesn't like but Linux is OK with it.
Anyway, Linux seems to have no problem reading the drive so I might utilize rsync to copy everything to a correctly partitioned second drive.

Re: [SOLVED] GParted resized FAT32 division and Windows can't read it
Information technology is better to use the latest GParted version. Versions newer than 0.25 include a patch for FAT32 filesystem resizing operations.
Concerning ms windows non reading flash drives, I had problem with such a 32GB stick under vista and 7 (it stopped reading it), withal windows viii and 10 could read the stick. Evidently the device drivers aren't the same for these o.southward. versions, and the stick isn't damaged.

Re: [SOLVED] GParted resized FAT32 partition and Windows tin can't read information technology
You tin can utilise hexedit to modify the initial bytes in the partitioning. For case if your FAT32 partition was /dev/sda1, then yous desire information technology to look like the post-obit:
$ sudo hexdump -n 7k -C /dev/sda1 00000000 eb 58 90 4d 53 57 49 |.X.MSWI| 00000007 To do this edit the segmentation with hexedit.

Re: [SOLVED] GParted resized FAT32 partition and Windows tin can't read information technology
I'm not sure the bug report exactly matches my problem. I started with a chief FAT32 sectionalisation on the wink drive. I made the partition bigger to use the entire wink drive. For some reason GParted inverse the parimary partition to an extended sectionalization and GParted now shows the FAT32 partition is a logical division in the extended partitioning. I saw no mention of that in the bug report I referenced in my earlier post. sdc1 is the extended partitioning and sdc5 is the logical FAT32 partition. I'g not sure if I should hexedit sdc1 or sdc5.
$ sudo hexdump -due north 7k -C /dev/sdc1 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| $ sudo hexdump -n 7k -C /dev/sdc5 00000000 78 02 00 4d 53 57 49 4e 34 2e 31 00 02 10 3c 00 |x..MSWIN4.1...<.| I tried
because information technology had the 78 02 00 mentioned in the bug report. I changed the beginning three bytes to eb 58 90 and pressed F2 to save and Ctrl + X to quit. That worked, I think. The files on the wink drive are viewable in Windows, now. Microsoft's Disk Management at present shows an extended partition, by itself, on the flash drive containing a FAT32 logical segmentation. Plainly Windows is OK with an extended partition without whatever primaries. Chkdsk says the filesystem is OK. Thank y'all.

Glad to learn that the event is solved. If so, you can edit your initial postal service to add [SOLVED] in the title.
