Windows knows the difference between a USB flash drive, and a hard drive. That is why the drive is classified as removable storage when plugging it in. I'm pretty sure that Windows won't allow you to create more than one partition on a USB flash drive. You might be able to do it using a boot disk such as GParted. <a href="http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php" rel="ugc">http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php</a>

I am trying to create a second partition on a SanDIsk 16G USB flash drive. Under Computer Management, I was able to see 14.08 GB healthy; but I didnt see no create a new partition selection, also when I clicked &quot;Format&quot; I got &quot;The operation did not complete because the partition or volume is not enabled. To enable the partition or volume, restart the computer.&quot; <br />
<br />
I have restarted my computer several times, and still got the same error message. How can I create the second partition on this flash drive? The primary partition on this flash drive is bootable partition.<br />
Thanks.

Can't create and format some partition on USB flash drive

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.
