Exfs4 is a file system.
I presume you have one partition under exfs4 and one with FAT32.
If you need to read this second partition with Windows, you need FAT32 or NTFS. NTFS allow bigger files and is more reliable (but slightly slower). Linux is able to read both partition, and by experience I know, for a personal usage, that it can write NTFS without problem.
So I advise you to replace FAT32 by NTFS.
If you work only with Linux, best is to choose a Linux file system, like exfs4.

What is your need ?

Can you type
     sudo parted -l

To get partitions details please open a terminal from Applications→Accessories→Terminal and type:

sudo fdisk -l

give your user password when requested (you will not see any screen chars when you type in your password) then press enter

Select, copy the command result from terminal and paste here.

Hope this helps
