I’m using Ubuntu 14.04 and when i copy files to a USB stick ( format Fat32) the files do get copied onto the USB ok and can be accessed while its plugged into my Ubuntu laptop.
but its when I try to use the USB Stick on other computers, windows or Mac the files ( which are compatible on all OS systems ) cannot be view, used or the USB stick appears to be empty. except when I plug it back into my Ubuntu laptop the files are there and works. i have also tried other USB Sticks and ext hard drives i still have the same problem. Any help would be great, i really don't want to go back to using Windows.
