I bought (mistakenly) a while back, a 32gb flash drive in the hopes of expanding my Xbox 360's memory (yay, 20gb!) and come to find it only recognizes 16gb per flash drive, I'm sure you can understand how I felt.


So today, I decided to try to partition my flash drive.

But I've come across a lot of problems.

BootIt (a popular tool for removing the flag that says whether or not a drive is removeable) doesn't work.
Easeus also doesn't provide the option upon right clicking to shrink or expand the partition.

I really don't want to burn a CD, and I'm not sure if the Xbox will even see the two partitions as two separate drives.

That's fine, if the Xbox 360 doesn't see the second partition, I can at least still use that 16gb for something else, maybe DSL or something.

But does anyone know how I can partition this fucker without loading MBR possibly wrecking software?

You could load a live Linux distro, or just Parted Magic and disconnect your harddrives before you boot. That would be pretty safe.

Thanks, but loading a live linux distro is going to be last resort for me.

Would a live win7 distro be a better resort? I think I also have a live winXP distro hanging around if you prefer, though both will take some time to upload.

I'm pretty tired, I think I'm going to sleep on it and worry about it in the morning

No worries, I'll upload them and send you a link, should be done by the time you wake up.

Try diskpart.
