You shouldn’t need a reboot if it’s a new drive but glad I could help.

Saved my bacon my friend. Just add a reboot between partitioning and creating and it is golden. At least Ubuntu needs a reboot otherwise it won’t find the part.

Thanks again for the time!

Awesome, have been looking at this for a few days. Best written example I have found, easy to follow and took me all of two minutes.
