6. Click 'Erase' and wait for the process to complete.

Għal Linux:

1. Open a terminal (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+T).
2. Install exFAT utilities if not already present: sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils -y (for Debian/Ubuntu-based systems).
3. Open the 'Disks' utility (often found in applications menu).
4. Select your newly added hard disk from the left panel.
5. Click the '+' button to create a new partition.
