It was a very good trick indeed, but now oldish and doesn’t work with windows 7. For that you have to do something like in here: [redacted]

hello there. im jhef, 4th year college student. my group mates and i are proposing this concept. we propose to partition a flash drive, the user could select what partition to be used. if he activated only one partition the rest partition will be turned off. if he wish to partition all, all should be turn on.if he did not turn it off and plug out his FD, and plug in to another pc the partition still be turn on. our main target is windows (7, XP). is this possible?

Hi all
I have been looking long+hard for a solution to this.
It appears as if it isnt possible (due to the way the hardware is made + operating system restrictions)
but there is a way thats almost like partitioning the usb drive
its software called Rohos Mini Drive.(free+tiny 2.65 Mb application)
It will create a “partition” on any removable media that can also be locked with a password.
the only drawback is that u have to run the rohos.exe from ur flashdisk before u will c the partition.but once thats done (+ur password is entered) it shows up just like another drive on any pc.
SO ITS NOT PERFECT…BUT IT IS RATHER CLOSE TO WHAT WE WANT..I CAN LIVE WITH IT…CONSIDERING THERES NO REAL OTHER WAY TO DO IT…

I used the free home edition of:
EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition

and I have partitioned my external portable 500gb usb into three parts – a boot drive, a data drive and a temp drive – just fine

Microsoft should provide a hotfix to this issue. A simple task like this doesn’t need to be that difficult, look at Linux, it natively supports multiple USB flash drive partitions. What’s the “philosophy” behind Microsoft’s reluctance to recognize any additional partitions on a USB flash drive?

hello martin.
sorry my bad english.
i have the corsair voyager gtr 128gb.
i would like to create two partitions:

1) the one of 28GB fat32, for normal pc/dvd standalone player usage (i.e. photos, avi, …).

2) the second partition of 100GB sould be formatted by my DVB-T decoder (another file system estabishled by the broadcasters, neither fat32 nor ntfs, not playable on pc!!).

can you explain how I can get 2 partitions on your pen drive (throught vista32) with two different file system, one of witch will be created by my decoder?
this seems to be very hard for me.

the steps you have described about the lexar utility should been followed the first time only (when the 2 partition being created) or every time i put the pen drive in to pc?

thanks a lot in advance.
best regards

Works with my OCZ Rally2 2GB drive but not with my more recent SanDisk Cruzer Micro Skin.

It also reads the capacity wrongly on the SanDisk
