cant partition rally 2 usb


Hi guys i have this nice one [URL="http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/flash_drives/ocz_rally2_usb_2_0_dual_channel_flash_memory_drive"].

I am trying to make 2 partitions

Using gparted i receive error messages when tries to make the 2nd partition .
Yast partitioner ends with error code 3004
Windows partitioner can only create one partition of the maximum size.

So i was wondering before i should try checking the error codes if some flash usb drives like the one i have cant be partitioned.

The website does convince you it is fabuluos _and_ sleek, but not what they do with the two channels. Might it be that it enumerates as two different devices? /var/log/syslog can tell you that.

Even then, splitting the devices into partitions should be ok. Remember that win$oft will only recognize the first one.
