Which OS are you using?

If NT/2K/XP/2003, under these systems only ONE (the Primary Active) partition is mountable IF the device is seen as "Removable" (like practically all sticks are).

You have three choices:

1) find the appropriate manufacturer's tool and "flip" the Removable bit so that the stick is seen as Fixed instead of removable

2) install and use a filter driver in your OS

3) forget about multiple partitions accessible under NT/2K/XP/2003 on Removable device and live with just one partition (this is a limit "by design" of the said OSes)

Let's for the moment forget about winsetupfromusb, and partition and make the stick booting.

Once you have it working, you can try again the program.

Which filesystem do you want to use?

FAT16 is inappropriate for a 32 Gb partition.

FAT32 is better, but the NT bootsector has sometimes problems with it.

NTFS would be the better choice, BUT you risk to wear prematurely the stick.

Read this:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...119963&st=0

First thing to try is fuwi's batch:

http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=21702&hl=

You CANNOT dd.exe a .iso to a USB stick (i.e. you can but you will get an unbootable/unreadable stick).

:iso files use CDFS filesystem, USB sticks use "normal" HD filesystems.

The only exception are particular sticks that have also a CDROM "part", but then again dd.exe won't work at all on them:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=125138

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=121502

and you will need anyway the particular tool for the specific chip on the stick.

thanx jaclaz

i cant get the filter driver i am using dummy.sys for that, is there any other flip method

and i thinking that already my pen drive is booting with win98 so i want to make some config.sys for booting grub.exe to load the windows setup and i want to make entry in that config.sys for hard booting after first restart of windows installation is it possible

[jaclaz]

Try using Chipgenius:

http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:RiTgg...3D4661%26st%3D0

using google cache untill boot-land is back online:

http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?...c=4661&st=0

and see if you can find the Manufacturer's tool to "flip the bit" permanently.

Try using the Hitachi Filter Driver cfadisk.sys:

kmaheshkumar,

look, I am willing to help you, but if you do not explain what you are trying to do in a way that I can understand it, it won't be possible.

You need to tell me what your final goal is, and then follow the advise I may (hopefully) be able to give you.

i got 3 .inf files and a regfile

Where?

jaclaz

[kmaheshkumar]

the inf files in the attachment itself

i want to my my pen drives bootable and to install operating systems from them i have 3 pendrives with me

one is 4GB, 16GB, 32GB so i want them to make for my work and to get the knowledge about booting and installing with pendrives i purchased 16, 32 GB pen drives for this purpose only

and i want to make my pendrives bootable and ready to install the operating systems and i dont want to waste my time using those big time takers i want to use those to make the boot files and i want to copy my source files to pen drive and i am trying to install the operating systems from the second partition of my usb drive to save the setup source without effecting with virus

[jaclaz]

the inf files in the attachment itself

I'll try again:

Where did you get them?

i want to my my pen drives bootable and to install operating systems from them i have 3 pendrives with me

one is 4GB, 16GB, 32GB so i want them to make for my work and to get the knowledge about booting and installing with pendrives i purchased 16, 32 GB pen drives for this purpose only

And for the third time, try using fuwi's batch on them, it is currently the easiest way to make a pendrive bootable. (one partition only, no matter if "Fixed" or "Removable").

and i want to make my pendrives bootable and ready to install the operating systems and i dont want to waste my time using those big time takers ....

Here we have some problems , actually the ESSENCE of a forum like this is to "waste" time learning, there is a ready available alternative, that involves the exchange of money to rent an expert to do the work for you and save your time.

.... i want to use those to make the boot files and i want to copy my source files to pen drive and i am trying to install the operating systems from the second partition of my usb drive to save the setup source without effecting with virus

And here we have another problem.

As ALREADY said, to have more than one partition available on a USB stick under a NT based OS, the stick needs to be seen by the NT based OS as "Fixed".

You were given the links to the two known methods to make this happen.

There is NO actual need, and definitely NOT "to save the setup source without effecting with virus", to use a partitioned stick, though it is a "better" philosophical approach.

Once you have with either of the two methods, made the stick seen as "Fixed", you can use Disk Management to partition it and format it's partitions.

I will repeat myself once again.

The "best" way is, provided that you find the right tool, is to "flip the bit" and have a USB stick seen as "Fixed".

Otherwise use either dummydisk.sys or cfadisk.sys, just recently cdob posted some new, interesting info:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=126868&hl=

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...26868&st=12

Now, let's start again from scratch.

Choose one and just one of the three sticks you have.

Run Chipgenius on it.

Post the info Chipgenius gives.

List ALL the Operating systems you would like to install from the stick and utilities you want to run.

yesterday i used cfadisk sucessfully for first time i got that from the above site flash.ru but my 32,16 GB pendrives are not getting formatted with NTFS file system

[jaclaz]

The tool for Vid 1221 Pid 3234 is already on the site you mentioned:

sure, but unless you DETAIL what you attempted to do I have NO way to try and help you.

Some questions:

Are you sure the stick is seen as "Fixed"? (i.e. that cfadisk is working properly?)

Did you enable the "optimize for performance":

http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/.../05/108205.aspx

Which program Utility did you try using on it?

Have you tried to format as FAT?

Have you tried then using CONVERT.EXE?

and my 32GB is only 126MB in Disk Management what can i do with them

Edited December 16, 2008 by kmaheshkumar

[jaclaz]

Would it be possible that the 4 Gb is actually a "fake" one?

Or more probably you misused the tool and "activated" only one of the two "banks" of flash.

In any case the only way to recover the sticks is to running the appropriate utility with the appropriate settings.

I cannot help you in this, you have to read and follow the instructions (if any) coming with the tool and experiment.

Don't worry about the Vid & Pid, they can be changed back to the original ones, that is exactly one of the main uses of the Manufacturer Tools.

[kmaheshkumar]

i replaced the 4gb pendrive before 2 months from the kingston

and i think the 32gb is china made of kingston but i brought it in auction and that is already used by some one

[kmaheshkumar]

hey jaclaz i just replaced my 4gb pendrive so please give me some details how to install the operating system from the second partition of the usbdrive i already told to keep setup source safely from viruses please give some details about that

[jaclaz]

Again, the "game" is played this way:

• YOU post the required info
  
• I try and help you
  

Now, let's start again from scratch.

Choose one and just one of the three sticks you have.

Run Chipgenius on it.

Post the info Chipgenius gives.

List ALL the Operating systems you would like to install from the stick and utilities you want to run.
