I have a 64 GB flash drive that I would like to use for multiple purposes: 1) Storing files 2) Running Ubuntu (persistent live usb) off of.

I read on here that I need to create two partitions of my USB and install Ubuntu on the second partition because Windows can only read the first partition--so my data will go on partition 1.

However, I'm not given the option to install Ubuntu on a partition of my drive when I go into Startup Disk Creator. What should I do?

1) Create the install media 2) Install gparted sudo apt-get install gparted 3) Connect the pendrive, open gparted and reduce the partition dedicated to Ubuntu. In the new space create a nfts. Windows will read seamlessly

  • use the latest Ubuntu installer option. Create a FAT or NTFS partition and an extended. Within the extended create a ext4 and swap. Select the ext4 and install Ubuntu
