What happened?

Thank you for developing such a wonderful application.

I have a 64 GB flash drive which I would like to use when I boot a live ISO file (in my case an Ubuntu if that matters.) I have read the community guidelines and help files and partitioned my flash drive as follows: 1st Partition: 20 GB: exFAT Ventoy 2nd Partition: 32 MB FAT VTOYEFI 3rd Partition: 37 GB NTFS <My partition Name>

Partitions in Windows

When using Windows everything is good, I can access the 1st and the 3rd partitions for copying files or adding and removing ISO files. However, when I boot from the flash drive (let's say into Ubuntu) I can not access the 3rd partition. The following photo depicts the partitions in Ubuntu.

Partitions when an Ubuntu live ISO is running

And finally, when trying to access the 3rd partition an error arises which is:

Error

(Error message: Failed to mount "Drive Name" Error mounting /dev/sda3 at /media/ubuntu/<Drive Name> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error)

I have tried the ventoyPlugin Option VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT and can access the first partition in which my ISO files are located. Yet surprisingly I can not access the 3rd partition which has nothing to do with Ventoy (or does it?)

My primary problem is to access the 3rd partition to move data from the flash drive to my hard drive and vice versa.

Thank you very much for your time and help. Best Regards.
