[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 616935, member: 55987"] Ok some progress here I used Lexar USB Format(below link) to flip the removable bit to create 2 partitions D: and E: and then use PartitionGuru to make active the D: partition. This was carried on a tablet with the latest Windows Creators Update installed. [URL='https://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/17/partition-usb-flash-drives/']Partition USB Flash Drives - gHacks Tech News[/URL] Now, Windows can see both my D: (formatted to FAT32 for bootup) and E: (formatted to NTFS) partitions. I can copy files to both partitions without problem. PartitionGuru can see both my partitions as removable drives. However, AOEMI Partition Assistant and MiniTools Partition Wizard both cannot see my second partition as there's no indication of E:. MiniTools Partition Wizard allows me to change the drive letter for the second partition but it was unsuccessful despite the change. Macrium Reflect also cannot see the second partition. So if system images are stored in the E: drive then Macrium Reflect will not be able to find them for restoration. Also, when I moved the USB stick to the other tablet(WITHOUT the Windows Creators Update) Windows is only able to detect the whole USB stick as a single partition. So not sure whether the Windows Creators Update plays a part here. Will carry out more testing and report back after I upgrade my other tablet to Windows Creators Update [/QUOTE]
