Partition USB Pen Drive

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to (if possible) partition a 32gb USB Pen Drive?

I would like to have 1 partition running Multiboot - YUMI ? Multiboot USB Creator | USB Pen Drive Linux
and the other as standard USB storage.

Lets say a 5gb multiboot partition and 27gb storage partition.

Is this possible?

Regards,
Jamie

Yes it is Jamie. Install and setup Yumi first, then partition afterwards.

Cheers for the reply Golden.
I have put multiboot on the drive now... how best to partition it, i don't see the options under Disk Management?

Any Ideas?

Jamie, use a 3rd party tool like Partition Wizard, then split the current partition as shown below. You can then resize etc.

Hi Golden,
Sorry for the very late reply, i kept meaning to try this but never got time to do it sorry.

I am having an issue getting the 2nd partition to show in Windows Explorer.

The 1st Partition (F: ) has Multiboot on it and i can see this in Windows Explorer.
The 2nd Partition (G: ) is just free space for storage but doesn't show in Windows Explorer.

What does Disk mgmt. show?
See: Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image

Removable devices are classified differently by Windows based on the device. You might have to mount the partition, I'm not sure - PW sees it with drive letter G......

I made a schoolboy error and didn't apply the changes, i have since applied the and now get a * rather than a letter (it still doesn't show in explorer)

Self-delete, I was wrong.

Cheers for the info... when i plug the usb drive into my laptop i don't get the 2nd partition from the usb drive either and that has 2 partitions so should support an extra 2 ?
