    Hello, I have a 16 GB pendriva. Is it possible to divide the Pendriva into two partitions, for example: 4GB FAT32 and the other 12GB NTFS, if there is such a possibility then I would ask for a program that will do it?

    My guess is that you want the rescue system on one partition and the other for data.
    Create the first NTFS partition for data and the second FAT 32 for the rescue system, e.g. linux-live
    The computer when booting from a pen will boot from the second partition and after inserting the pen in a running windows will recognize the first NTFS partition.
    I have been using it for years because it's a shame to waste a pen only on live, the more that 1 GB for the rescue system is enough. 16GB Pendrive: Split into 4GB FAT32 & 12GB NTFS Partitions - Software Recommendations
    In any live linux you create 2 partitions per pen in Gparted.

    The point is that on the first partition I wanted to make a bootable, Norton ghost, and on the second partition the partition image from laptop and computer. The idea was that in the case of an avari system I would fire from a Norton Ghost flash drive, and from the second partition I would start a C partition image. But probably in windows it is rather impossible because windows cannot see the 2nd partition. Why two because I have an older lap that only bots with the FAT32 file system from NTFS does not boot, and fat 32 will not enter my image from the desktop Windows 7 computer, which takes over 4 GB, so I wanted to make two partitions from the first FAT32 from which Norton will start ghost. And from the second NTFS partition on which there would be 2 images from the XP paw and from the computer windows 7 and thus would save myself robots and combinations in the event of avari system.

    It can be done the other way, but it will work only with a specific system and computer and only with this one USB stick. In addition, the system must be 32 bit. Why does the boot partition necessarily have to be the first?

    Exactly for the same purposes I use the pen whose photo I posted. I just don't use norton a rescue Linux partimage. If it doesn't have to be norton then do unetbootin with this live pen. Of course on the FAT 32 live partition and on the NTFS partition partition images or any other data. And by the way you have a complete operating system not just norton.

    In addition, there are various disk programs live on it.

    It is impossible that the BIOS does not support booting from NTFS - you would not boot Windows from the disk. Rather, this is not about the file system but the type of media that the BIOS supports. Some BIOSes recognize a bootable pen as a super-USB-FDD or USB-ZIP disk with one partition. Your BIOS probably only supports USB-HDD type.

    If your computer doesn't have USB boot support or there are any problems then you can use it PLOP Boot Manager . If it's possible it's best to add to the BIOS as Option ISA IS - great thing :-)

    And in some bosses, although this option is USB-HDD, you need to change in HDD from disk to pendrive and give booting from HDD :) .

    At the bank, you don't have a two-step verification that you have to have such a security measure? If you do not have a phone or do not want to receive sms, banks have other security features, e.g. a scratch card or a token.

    The laptop does not boot NTFS formatted only on fat 32, and the desktop boot from FAT32 and NTFS because it is a new motherboard, while the laptop only boots norton ghost from fat32. I will try to cut windows7 to take 4 GB below

    There is no need to reduce windows by force. By default, Partimage splits image files into 2 GB pieces.
    I have a two-step verification but I got used to logging into the bank live because I can be sure that there is nothing left on the disk from this session.

    What is this flash drive? Service software is available for some, e.g. Kingston, DataTraveler series, thanks to which you can divide the pen into two partitions, make a CDROM or replace it with a hard disk.

    Good question from another barrel, maybe there is a program that DOS to do partition images for, you can boot this program from a USB stick and there is an option to divide the image into parts?

    Of course it is (was) - Drive Image Power Quest, which no longer exists but is not suitable for taking Windows 7 images

    What do you do with a bootable USB stick? It's best to do this with the program USB Disk Storage Format and then upload GRUB4DOS to MBR and / or PBR with Grub4Dos Installer 1.1 or BootICE :

    Copy files gRLDR and menu.lst on a pendrive. Attached are GRUB4DOS files and programs ( menu.lst currently empty to check if GRUB4DOS will boot you from NTFS stick at all)

    You've got the ready solution on your tray. Such a pen boots on any computer and can be used to take images of any partitions and several other diagnostic and repair items. I do this xp win7,8,10 images and never any trouble. Creating such a pen is very simple. You are looking for programs under DOS but it's probably for cognitive purposes.
    You are one of the few who thinks about system partition images before and not after a serious problem with windows and the need to reinstall.

    I edited the previous post to order the topic. Follow the instructions from the previous post and write if your USB flash drive now boots from NTFS.

Topic summary

A user inquired about partitioning a 16GB pendrive into a 4GB FAT32 and a 12GB NTFS partition, seeking software recommendations for this task. Responses included links to guides for formatting and partitioning, with suggestions for using GParted for creating partitions.
