How to mount multiple partitions on a USB removable drive?
Hi all,
I have a USB flash drive on which I have created two partitions. Due to the way that Windows deals with removable drives, it ignores all but the primary partition on the drive. Therefore it is not possible to mount any of the other partitions using standard Windows software.
On Linux it is possible to mount all of the drive's partitions because it treats removable drives the same way as fixed drives.
I have done a fair bit of research to see if I can find some software for Windows that would allow me to bypass the standard Windows behaviour and mount the extra partitions on the drive. Unfortunately I've not been able to find anything. I did find some information about a Lexar format tool which allows you to flip the RMB bit on a flash drive so that it enumerates itself as a fixed drive instead; solving the problem. Unfortunately this tool doesn't work with all USB flash drives, and it doesn't work with mine.
Has anyone here solved this for themselves? If so can you share your solution?
Thanks!
Brian
