Changing volume of flash drive


I noticed that after installing Fedora 22 on a 32GB FATG32 flash drive that the drive when viewed with the Windoz properties now shows 1MB used and 200 MB of free space. I think the default install for Fedora either uses ext4 formatting.
Will someone explain how these differences occur?

I understand that you installed Fedora on the flash drive, rather than wrote the install image to it, right?

It is true that, when looking at a disk with linux partitions on it, that Windows will not display the partition information for the linux partitions.

If you want to see all of the partitions, including the linux ones, run diskmgmt.msc as Administrator in Windows, and click on or select the flash drive. All partitions should show up, the linux ones just won't have drive letters in the upper view pane.

Does this answer your question?

Windows only see's the first partition.
