Make sure your username doesn't contain any Uppercase letters or symbols. e.g, try sikander instead of Sikander.

should i use the ext4 format or that new one?

[sikander3786]

New one? I only know about ext4 as the latest stable filesystem. You can use either ext3 or ext4. ext4 is the newer one and the better one, in my opinion. If you are curious about that, see this
