I am trying to set up partitions on my USB drive, 1x as a boot partition, 1x as operating system data, 1x as shared with windows files. I am trying to assign the shared with windows partiton a drive latter using diskpart, however, I can not select the partition I need. Using list part, the three partitions are listed, but I can not select the 8b partition, because it, along with another partition, share a partition id of 0. How can I assign a drive letter to the 8gb partition of this drive?
Answer
The exact setup in which I need is taking much more time and effort then I thought... However, this part of the problem, I have managed to solve.
As pmbiesiada mentioned, Windows does not like more then two partitions on a USB drive... Simple solution, make the windows visible partition first. The other 2 are an extended format and bootable anyway. This is giving me more or less the setup I desire, in that only the 8gb is visible to the user in windows, and my boot and casper drives are hidden.
I appreciate the provided input.
Thanks
