USB Drive /SDCard Partition

[clavicle]

Is it possible to create more than one partition on a usb drive or sd mmc card or any another flash media?

This is exactly what I also think, but you are always limited by your own knowledge.

Yes, is possible.

Mount it just like a hard drive and proceed as normal.

It'not so easy under 2k/xp.

Most USB sticks default to be identified as "removable".

XP will format a removable drive as "superfloppy", i.e. without an MBR and with just a single partiton.

If you "force" on the stick a MBR, (like the famous HP format utility does) Windows can work with the stick allright, but, UNLESS you can make the stick be seen as "fixed" ONLY first partition will be mountable.

There are two possible workarounds:

1) have the stick manufacturer utility that can "activate" the "fixed" switch

2) use a Drive filter
