Hello All,
At the SLO Bytes Linux meeting of 08/09/18, I observed that the disk partitioning utility, GParted greyed out the option to format a disk in exFat. Supposedly, this ability was removed to avoid conflicts with Microsoft, the owner of the format.
Today, I opened GParted from inside PartedMagic version 2018_04_30. exFat was not greyed out and I successfully formatted a partition to that scheme.
Before I was able to read or write to the exFat drive, I had to install a program via the terminal. Open the terminal and type sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
