I wanted to create a bootable Windows and Ubuntu on my flash drive. Due to FAT32 constraint on Windows, I formatted my flash drive to NTFS. But after i installed Ubuntu into the flash drive and boots it, It keeps giving error running it.

Im currently using YUMI to create all these bootable stuffs and had a 32GB USB3.0 to store these inside. Hope i can get a clear and dumb-proof solution. (Sorry if i'm asking too much)

You would need to create an MBR on the drive, and then partition it in two pieces one being Fat32 or NTFS and the other being ext3/ext4. All that being said, YUMI would have to re-write all of the partition tables when it is writing the iso's. I think that this will get you going in the right direction: link

When you install Ubuntu, it generally rewrites everything to ext3/ext4. NTFS is a Microsoft file system that Ubuntu would have overwritten. If you have Ubuntu installed, it can write to an NTFS partition if you have the package ntfs-3g installed. link

I do not think you can install Ubuntu to a NTFS flash drive.

Using FAT should allow it to work.

Using ext4 is recommended as it's linux native. The only downside is you can't access any files from the drive while in Windows.

If you have a big enough flash drive, try creating a small FAT32 partition for storing data and then creating an ext4 partition for storing Ubuntu.
