How to make multiple partitions on USB bar (flash disk)?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello,

I have some 512MB USB flash disk and I want to split it to two partitions. I
am not able to find any how-to for Win XP(?). It is in USB-HDD mode now (done
by FlashBoot), but I am not able to delete the only one partition using Disk
Management snap-in and diskpart.exe does not work too (I can't see it in disk
list, but I see it in volume list). Ranish Partition Manager is able to
create mulitple partitions but XP can see only first partition and Ranish
complains about invalid partition table.

I want to use different filesystem for second partition.

Thank you for your help.
