Do you want an additional partition to
be created for your system? Then here’s a tutorial on creating a
partition on the PENDRIVE. Note that this is an advanced tutorial so it
is advised that you should try it only after having a firm grip over the
procedure.
Before
you start, it is important for you to know that pendrive is detected as
an operating system so in order to make a partition on the pendrive you
have, portray the pendrive as a hard drive to the system. By creating
numerous drives you are able to save your important data and protect it
from viruses during the process.
Before
starting the STEP 1, make a backup of your pendrive since you might
need to format it during the process and download the drivers you will
need during the process.
Now just trail these easy steps and you will be done!
Step 1:
Plug in your USB drive and open device manager. Now you will be able to
see the hardware devices that are connected to your computer. Simply
scroll down to the disk drives and click on it and then on the
“properties” button.
Step 2:
Once the pendrive properties window opens, choose detail tab and then
“device instance path”. When you see a string of characters, copy it and
close the window.
Step 3: Now
open the folder of USB drivers you had downloaded and open the file
named “cfadisk.inf ” in any text editor notepad or wordpad.
Step 4: Once done, search for the words “device_instance_id_goes_here” in line number 26.
Replace this string with the string that you copied from the pendrive properties tab. Save the file and close your text editor.
Step 5: Open the pendrive properties window again. Go to ‘Driver’ tab and click on update driver.
Step 6: Click on browse from computer and then on “let me pick from a list of drivers” as shown in the image below.
Step 7: When
the subsequent window appears, uncheck the box “Show compatible
hardware”. Then click on the “Have disk button” and on “Browse”. Now
choose that .inf file that we edited and click on OK.
Step 8: Now
a warning message should popup. Just ignore it and click on yes.
Progressing further the computer should start the installation of the
driver. Ignore the other warnings that pop up. Then click on install.
Wait for the system to complete the installation.
Congratulations!
You are done. Your operating system will now detect the pendrive as a
hard disk. Since pendrive appears to be a hard drive now you can move on
to make partitions just the way you do it normally.
