We describe how to partition a USB flash drive and then persuade Windows to recognize the partitions. Multipartitioning USB flash drives has some difficulty because Windows can only recognize the first partition.
Now syslinux can boot from NTFS partitions (it is even possible to boot HBCD from large external hard disks) so we describe this option too. Until recently, because of the limitations of the bootloader syslinux, USB flash drives could only be formated FAT32. The restored edition of Hiren s Boot CD employs a combination of the bootloaders syslinux and grub4dos so the method described in Hiren s web page 1 does not work for the restored edition. The quickest and most accurate method is to use Linux command line tools, however Windows can be also used with equally good results. 1 Make a Bootable USB Flash Drive from the Restored Edition of Hiren s Boot CD Contents 1 Linux Method 2 2 Windows Method 3 3 Alternative Windows Method (RMPrepUSB) 4 4 HBCD on a Partitioned USB Flash Drive Create the partitions Format the partitions and transfer HBCD to USB Making the second partition visible to Windows Computers without optical drive 10 Introduction We describe how the files of the restored/extended Hiren s BootCD (HBCD) can be transferred to a USB memory stick (flash drive) and how the later can be made bootable using exclusively tools provided by the HBCD.
