On removable medias (such as USB disks), Windows can only access one partition at a time.
\nThis is a driver limitation (which you can actually work around by using another driver but this is not the point of this article).<\/p>\n

Here below one way to work around this.<\/p>\n

First, lets select our device in CloneDisk and under the disk (right) menu : (1) put it offline, (2) delete disk layout, (3) create 2 (or more) partitions, (4) put your disk online.<\/p>\n

Note that if you disk is already multi partitioned, you can skip the above 4 tasks and go the last part of this article which is about\u00a0accessing the second partition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Create one partition, and repeat this task once.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once done (i.e partitions are created), it should looks like this once done (2 times 2 GB partitions).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In CloneDisk main window, put your disk online : windows should detect a new volume and offer to format it (if not, remove and reinsert media).<\/p>\n

Create a folder named ‘part1’ (this is only a witness\/indicator)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, lets see how we can access the second partition<\/strong> : Go back to CloneDisk -> Disk -> Partition Editor, select your second partition and \u00ab\u00a0set as partition number 1\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, windows should detect a new volume (the previous volume ‘part 1’ has disappeared) and offer to format it\u00a0(if not, remve and reinsert media) – unless you have skipped the first part of this article.<\/p>\n

Create a folder named ‘part2’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can now switch back and forth between your partitions on your removable media by using\u00a0CloneDisk -> Disk -> Partition Editor, select your partition and \u00ab\u00a0set as partition number 1\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
