See if this helps.

And remember, if you want something, Google is always the way to go!

I know that. My first prefrence is always google. On google I found that any software is required for the partition but it can't help me. I also search on manufacturer site. On there I can't find anything.
So you guys please help me.

Also and repeate that I want to create partition on PEN DRIVE not on normal harddisk. So, help me in this manner.

I have never partitioned a pen drive and my regular partitioning tool (Partition Magic) does not recognise my pen drive (Kingston data traveller).

However Paragon-Partition-Manager v8.5 recognises the pen drive as a basic hard disk so should allow partitioning.   P-P-M v8.5 is currently available free at this site.   (Link courtesy of Patio)

Please post back with your results, positive or negative.  Thanks..

Are you using Windows XP?  Have you tried using it's Disk Management tools?  In other words:
Right click on MY COMPUTER and click Manage
Look on the left pane and find "Disk Management"

I haven't tried this with a flash drive but, if I wanted to partition one, I surely give it a try before buying partitioning software.  I found a forum discussion where the technique was suggested.

Why do you want to partition it nency.jariwala, I'm just a naturally curious person.

Dusty you give me the site is for harddisk partition or pendrive partition? As I read it I found only harddisk partition.

I have windows XP op. I checked disk manager but not work. It can't give the partition option as give in the HDD.

Someone asked me that is that possible to create partition in pen drive. That's only stuff. Not a big at all.

But I also curious that it possible or not.

Thanks for coming back at us nency.jariwala.

The link I gave is to download the Paragon-Partition-Manager.   

Like you I didn't find any relevant information on partitioning a pen drive on the WWW or mention of it in program documentation.   However I ran Partition Magic Pro which did not recognize my pen drive at all, then I ran P-P-M which did so I thought you might like to try partitioning with P-P-M.   Nowhere I can find does it say that P-P-M will partition a pen drive but I thought you might like to give it a try.

Good luck
