Partition Transcend USB external drive (Storejet) into 2 partitions

Computer, Disk Drives, Hardware, Linux, Software, Windows 1 Minute

You can partition a transcend USB external disk drive into 2 partitions using gparted. Visit http://www.gparted.org to get the software.

Using gparted, the USB drive can have 2 partitions one ext4 for Linux and one NTFS for Windows. Using NTFS allows the backup of larger files to happen without intervention.

Had you used a FAT32 partition, the maximum file size that you could backup would have to be 4 GB or less. This helps overcome that limitation.
