Hello Friends
For a very long time I was using Fedora, much older versions. A few days back I installed Fedora 30.
I was using fdisk to format an USB pendrive. After creating a new partition with 'n' and checking with 'p' that it was created, I typed 't' to change the type from 'Linux Filesystem' to something compatible with MSW. If I am remembering correctly, earlier I used 'c' for 'LBA 32' partition. But now, when I hit 'L' for the list, it showed me an entirely unknown kind of table.
I could nowhere get any documentation for this new kind of table. I could not understand anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It would be easier to help you if you included a copy of some of the table. I wonder if you have a disk with a GPT partition table.

After hitting 't' within 'fdisk', it told me to hit 'L' for the list and here is the first page of that table: << 1 EFI System C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B 2 MBR partition scheme 024DEE41-33E7-11D3-9D69-0008C781F39F 3 Intel Fast Flash D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593 4 BIOS boot 21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649 5 Sony boot partition F4019732-066E-4E12-8273-346C5641494F 6 Lenovo boot partition BFBFAFE7-A34F-448A-9A5B-6213EB736C22 7 PowerPC PReP boot 9E1A2D38-C612-4316-AA26-8B49521E5A8B 8 ONIE boot 7412F7D5-A156-4B13-81DC-867174929325 9 ONIE config D4E6E2CD-4469-46F3-B5CB-1BFF57AFC149 10 Microsoft reserved E3C9E316-0B5C-4DB8-817D-F92DF00215AE 11 Microsoft basic data EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7 12 Microsoft LDM metadata 5808C8AA-7E8F-42E0-85D2-E1E90434CFB3 13 Microsoft LDM data AF9B60A0-1431-4F62-BC68-3311714A69AD 14 Windows recovery environment DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC 15 IBM General Parallel Fs 37AFFC90-EF7D-4E96-91C3-2D7AE055B174 16 Microsoft Storage Spaces E75CAF8F-F680-4CEE-AFA3-B001E56EFC2D 17 HP-UX data 75894C1E-3AEB-11D3-B7C1-7B03A0000000 18 HP-UX service E2A1E728-32E3-11D6-A682-7B03A0000000 19 Linux swap 0657FD6D-A4AB-43C4-84E5-0933C84B4F4F 20 Linux filesystem 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 21 Linux server data 3B8F8425-20E0-4F3B-907F-1A25A76F98E8 22 Linux root (x86) 44479540-F297-41B2-9AF7-D131D5F0458A 23 Linux root (ARM) 69DAD710-2CE4-4E3C-B16C-21A1D49ABED3 24 Linux root (x86-64) 4F68BCE3-E8CD-4DB1-96E7-FBCAF984B709 25 Linux root (ARM-64) B921B045-1DF0-41C3-AF44-4C6F280D3FAE 26 Linux root (IA-64) 993D8D3D-F80E-4225-855A-9DAF8ED7EA97 27 Linux reserved 8DA63339-0007-60C0-C436-083AC8230908 28 Linux home 933AC7E1-2EB4-4F13-B844-0E14E2AEF915 29 Linux RAID A19D880F-05FC-4D3B-A006-743F0F84911E 30 Linux extended boot BC13C2FF-59E6-4262-A352-B275FD6F7172 31 Linux LVM E6D6D379-F507-44C2-A23C-238F2A3DF928 32 FreeBSD data 516E7CB4-6ECF-11D6-8FF8-00022D09712B 33 FreeBSD boot 83BD6B9D-7F41-11DC-BE0B-001560B84F0F 34 FreeBSD swap 516E7CB5-6ECF-11D6-8FF8-00022D09712B 35 FreeBSD UFS 516E7CB6-6ECF-11D6-8FF8-00022D09712B 36 FreeBSD ZFS 516E7CBA-6ECF-11D6-8FF8-00022D09712B 37 FreeBSD Vinum 516E7CB8-6ECF-11D6-8FF8-00022D09712B 38 Apple HFS/HFS+ 48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC 39 Apple UFS 55465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC 40 Apple RAID 52414944-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC
Util-Linux package 'fdisk' has changed. I think the problem is to get the documentation of the changed package.

I don't know what documentation you're referring to. The man page doesn't say anything about the type list.
Your disk has a GPT partition table which is completely different from the DOS partition table. There are no numbers, it uses UUIDs instead.
You probably want to use "11 Microsoft basic data".
Try unsing gdisk insead of fdisk.
