Knightmare Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I downloaded Lexar Boot It in order to flip removable bit. I clicked the button, removed the drive, then inserted the drive again. I thought this would make it so that I would be able to partition the drive, but it did not. I did not format the drive before this happened and I am using EaseUS Home Edition to easily partition the drive. So what should I do?-Do I need to reformat the drive before I partition?-Does EaseUS undo the operation performed by Lexar Boot It?-Is there something else that I need to do in order to make this work?I doing this because I have a 16 GB flash drive with Windows 7 installation on it, so the usb acts as a disc. However, the iso is only 4.3 GB, so I would rather not waste all 16 GB. I know what Boot It was meant to do but it doesn't appear to be doing this for my flash drive. I don't know if that's because I haven't formatted the drive or what. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circaal Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 What are you planning to put on the second partition. If its just files you can just create a folder on the root. I have a Windows 7 install on my flash as well and I have a 16gb. I have all the install files and then a foldr called "FLASH" and I have all my tools and other software programs I use in that folder.-BTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I did not know that. I was going to put DriverPack Solution and offline updates on the other partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circaal Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Oh well just create a folder and throw the files in the new folder. You shouldn't have any problems. After 50+ clean installs I haven't had any.-BTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightmare Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 I tried to convert the drive from removable to local but I get the following error: But I'm not trying to install a printer, of course. Any idea how to fix this? I'm following these steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
