adeptzzz Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I purchased an 8gb voyager drive with the intention of slapping a bootable OS on it and partitioning off the rest for storage of app's and other tools i use. thus far using the hp boot utility and a number of different apps and tutorials i have been unable to get this stick to boot (and yes i have set my pc to boot from usb, as i have done with my laptop which boots a dell 256mb stick just fine) is there a specific utility that can be used with the 8gb versions or does anyone know a surefire way to setup an OS on this using PEbuilder, i keep getting errors during the usb build process currently im waiting on acronis disk director to download so i can split the partition on the drive in 2 and see if that helps but i doubt it will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adeptzzz Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 ok, so ive tried acronis, and splitting the partition which creates a few errors. so i tried creating a 2gb partition and a 5gb partition, after which i get the following error when trying to assign a drive mapping to the partition (yes ive rebooted :biggrin:) the operation did not complete because the partition or volume is not enabled to enable the partition or volume, please restart the pc ive tried enabling / modifying the partition but keep getting the same error... anyone know how i can basically partition the flash stick as two drives, one bootable and one for storage?
