Hello, i have a 64gb flash drive from corsair and i want to partition it, i have already tried Paragon Partition Manager, Gparted, Partition Magic, none of them work, the main issue here is that windows wont see more than one partition, i also tried this trick:
http://www.lancelhoff.com/multi-part...ve-in-windows/ and it didnt work for me, windows still detects it as removable device... any ideas? thanks in advance |

It will always show as removable disk, because that's what it is.
Are you trying to install an OS onto it or something? |

I always just use the Disk Management console (Administrative Tools). So far this always worked with all USB sticks.
How to use Disk Management to configure basic disks in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000 Btw: after you partitioned your USB stick, the partitions will of course show up as separate drives - just like a partitioned HDD. |

I just plugged it in (4GB Avixe USB 2.0 stick), opened the disk management console (diskmgmt.msc) and partitioned it like you do it with a regular HDD.
Maybe one of those "hacks" works for you, though: USB Hack: Turn a USB Stick Into a Hard Drive or Local Disk http://www.getusb.info/usb-hack-turn...or-local-disk/ How To Create Multiple USB Stick Partitions http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/16/how...ck-partitions/ |

sorry for taking a week to reply here, i had to travel on business, anyways here are the results:
acronis didnt work, and not only it didnt work but also made my computer not recognize the flash drive anymore (this is when i started freaking out), after so much crying over my supposed lost flash drive, unninstalling acronis solved (i dont know why) then i read both cybermancer's hacks, decided to try the first one for looking simpler and "cleaner", and bingo! it worked flawlessly!!! cybermancer, youre my hero! thanks A LOT!!! |

NTFS isnt a good choice for usb sticks, the best is ExFAT

You're welcome, Mr.Bigtime.
The search function (http://forums.guru3d.com/search.php) is the most useful sticky there is, imo. Otherwise there would be just too many stickies and finding info in a 20 page sticky is going to take a while also. |
