I want to partition a USB flash drive so that two gigabytes is reserved for ubuntu and persistence, and the other two is for my files. I used gparted to create two fat32 partitions on the flash drive. Natulius show the two partitions, good. However, when I open the Starup Disk Creator, it shows the flash drive as one drive instead of two partitions. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and a 4gb flash drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried first installing with Startup Disk Creator using the whole drive, then coming back and making the second partition? – Tom Brossman Nov 6 '11 at 8:47

you should use disk utility to make partitions (primary and logical) then use the startup disk creator usb

If you want to do that, you probably better use "unetbootin" instead to create a bootable live flash drive.
