"Lexar USB Format Tool" is a tool offered by Lexar that enables a user to format a USB flash drive, set a volume label, set a (bootable) active partition and most importantly, "Flip the Removable Media Bit" (RMB) on the USB device to allow windows to see the USB device as a fixed disk, rather than removable media. Flipping the Removable Media Bit on a USB flashdrive will allow a user to setup, see and use multiple partitions on the USB flashdrive from Windows. This tool was developed for Lexar drives. However, we have had moderate success using the Flip the Removable Bit feature on various brands of USB flash drives.
