What is the Partition scheme, and also, what is the format type?

When you open DU, select the device being partitioned.



Not the partition.

Then select Partition in the toolbar.



This is where you add partitions, by clicking on the plus (+) button.

I found it had a master boot record that's why I couldn't partition it I had to use my linux computer to fix it
thanks for your help Bob

You could have changed the partitions scheme in DU also. But, I'm glad you sorted it out.

As Bob says above, Disk Utility should have allowed you to do that:
