All the information I find seems to indicate you have to actually flip a bit in the drive's firmware to make this possible. (It has to appear to Windows as a non-removable drive or hard drive.) | |
| Oct 2, 2014 at 9:36 | comment | added | LPChip | @trlkly edited the post, but as for mounting the other partitions, I tried doing that in the past and was unsuccessful. Can you perhaps post an answer of your own showing how to do that, with images and all? | |

| Oct 2, 2014 at 9:24 | comment | added | trlkly | You can mount more than one partition--it's just not always mounted by default, and you have to go into disk management. Also, LPChip, please edit your answer rather than just correcting mistakes in the comments. | |

| May 13, 2014 at 11:36 | comment | added | user | "flashdrives can only have 1 partition"[citation needed]. I haven't tried, but every flash drive I've seen has come as a MBR-partitioned device so there should be no reason why it can't have multiple partitions. Maybe this is an artificial limitation in Microsoft Windows? | |
| May 13, 2014 at 11:26 | comment | added | Samir | I don't need it to boot, don't need it anymore. I just wanted my USB flash drive back and working again, with all of its bits and bytes, under Windows. | |
