Re: partition on pen drive
A 32 GB pen-drive, bah! Just curious did you have to import it from abroad or is it available in Indian market?
Coz just yesterday i got a Transcend 8 GB one, good to go with Portable Apps . Never heard of 32GB in Indian market at least.

Re: partition on pen drive
Dude Frankly speaking don't go for partition. Suppose you partition the drive into 4 slots, maybe after some time Windows fails to detect any one of them (I said May Be).
So I suggest don't go for partition at all.

Re: partition on pen drive
ya what he said is right, windows doesnt detect partitioned pendrives.
I had partitioned my pendrive in linux, linux detected it, but wiindows didnot detect all the partition.
just the first partition.

Thats purely untrue. Maybe something to do with you alone. If its not working for you then don't generalize for everyone.
I always use a partitioned flash drive if its above 2GB in size. Helps me organize my data well. It has also so happened that some portion of the flash drive went bad and fortunately I lost data only in that partition as opposed to all data. From my experience I'd say there were no problems at all (preferably make FAT32 partitions).

Re: partition on pen drive
After I bought new HDD for my laptop, I put the old HDD in casing and use it as a USB drive, (of course not exactly a pen drive - but the interface remains the same) and all partitions were detected by Windows without any problem. I do not think partitioning pendrive is a problem.

Actually I want to say that if Windows fails to detect it than it fill inadvertently leads to data loss.
Also suggest freeware for partitioning Pen Drive apart from DIsk Management

Never had to use any other partitioning software other than Disk Management on Windows. Works like a charm!

Re: partition on pen drive
Disk Management will not directly allow you to partition. You need to flip the Removable Bit by some utility (like BootIT or HP etc.). The flash drive can then haf multiple partitions.
