I am seeing an on Windows an 11 MB partition unallocated followed by 4 MB esp and a final unallocated partition with apparently no data on it. Now I know I have data on the remaining partition, but it doesn't seem to be defined in any particular way. Windows disc genius and Linux gparted both show a single space undefined about 28 GB.
I'm expecting to see the 11 megabyte partition for system compatibility and 4 MB for ESP and any amount that would fit the data for the Debian system I figure anywhere from 4 gb to the rest of the 32 gb device with a definable start and finish for the third partition, traditionally named Debian major and minor. Thank you. Daniel.
