Last night I was able to follow the instructions on www.pendrivelinux.com to create a Knoppix bootable USB drive & it worked... much to my surprise, the 1st time! The instructions made a 750m partition & a second partition, the rest of the 4gig USB drive I used. Once booted from the USB, it sees the 2nd USB partition & the 2 NTFS partitions on my WinXP hard drive.
The only issue is that WindowsXP does not see the 2nd partition. The command from #11 in the instructions:
mkfs.ext2 -b 4096 -L casper-rw /dev/sdx2
Formats the partition. I've tried modifing the command from #9:
mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n usb /dev/sdx1
to
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n usb /dev/sdx1
to make a FAT32 partition, but it doesn't appear to work.
I've searched around a bit but was unable to find what I'm looking for. All I want it to make the 2nd partition, about 3 gig, a FAT32 that Windows can read & write to. Is this possible? Sorry I am a complete noob at this.
TIA
