I've also tried the Knoppix live CD (said to be one of the smallest Linux live CD options) so I could do "sudo apt-get install gparted", but the boot-up seems stuck right away, after slowingly getting to 100% minirt.zip (is it trying to download something from the internet?) There's also a "test disk" menu that goes to a CLI utility, but its seeming success in overwriting the MBR partition or wiping the 59GB primary storage partition always turns out to be false once the Samsung drive is tried again in Windows or Mac. The alternate Xuesa desktop goes to a black screen. With the last freeware version of Parted Magic from 2019 on, it can't get into the default Xorg GUI. Running under Virtualbox on Windows or Mac, VB always presents an error failing to attach the Samsung USB drive. I've tried the gparted live CD, which can't seem to handle the 4K screen of the Windows laptop, as it seems to get stuck at the splast screen after the initial setup screen (with the safe mode option and such).

Using dd or ddrescue (on the Mac CLI), either fails with disk I/O error, or finishes the overwriting in under a second, apparently without success thus failing silently. On both Windows and Mac, built-in or commercial disk management apps eventually fail with some sort of disk I/O error, related to the MBR partition being recognizable or the storage partition being locked by another process. It does still appear in macOS Finder, though unresponsive and sluggish if trying to read from it. The 59GB storage doesn't show up in Windows 10, still shows up, with files visible in it. Lately, only the MBR partition shows up in Windows 10, still complained of as unusable yet unformattable when tried. Neither could a Mac deal with the Samsung drive under Disk Utility or CLI diskutil. The 59GB storage partition was so painfully slow just showing the directory listing by Windows Explorer that I eventually gave up and killed off Explorer with Task Manager.

Windows complains of the MBR partition being unusable without reformatting but always fails to format it.

Since then, Windows 10 presents the Samsung flash drive initially as both the 200MB MBR partition and the 59.5GB primary storage partition, under separate drive letters.

Came back to it after a meal and found Windows 10 Explorer unresponsive, with the duo file-copying operations frozen. Seeing it going at 9MB/s, I got "greedy", and started a second file copy operation to the Samsung drive, back-to-back.

Thanks to the new "smart" TV that can't handle exFAT, I have to format a 64GB Samsung USB flash drive as NTFS.
