Partitioning a USB Flash Drive

USB Flash Drives All USB Flash Drives

  1. Remove the USB’s Removable bit setting or install on the host the dummy.sys filter or Hitachi cfadisk filter.

  2. They saw no need to partition removable devices. And until recently most removable devices were small or very expensive.

3.a. Sure, anything is possible, even if the bit isn’t flipped.

3.b. Don’t know.  I have never found a need to partition a UFD.

  1. Depends on what you’re backing up.  I always keep the original files on my hd.  XXCOPY is very fast moving files around.  FAT is the most widely recognized File System and FAT32 is needed for large drives.  I boot USBs with both and with NTFS also.

  2. No idea.

  3. No idea but then why would you want/need too?
