Partition USB drive under Win7

[CooperXS]

Got me self quite buffy usb flash drive and was thinking to make bootable partition with test software or windows installation image and another partition for files etc. I've seen a guide with flip removable bit option but that software doesnt seem to work under win7.
Can anyone suggest some options please ? Thanks

AFAIK you can't partition a USB flash drive the way you can a HDD. I think when you get software on the drive that does the 'partitioning' low-level so the computer sees two drives. Check the MFR's website for your drive to see if they offer any software for it but a lot of the time what it does is make an unsecured partition and a secure partition so you could use the secure one for data (just use an empty password or 1 letter if it allows it) and the non-secure one as the bootable one.

Hi,

I've used one of the options from here: http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm and the specific one for Vista/Win 7 usually works for me.
