hey guys. I dont know where this sorta question goes but its linux related so it ended up here.

basically what im trying to achieve is to boot puppy linux from my USB, and keep my old files as well for when im in windows. So yeah. I got puppy to boot off my formatted drive, then back in windows i copied my files over next to the linux boot files. Wont boot linux.

So.... I thought about partitions. But then I guess Id have to make the linux boot partition the primary one. And that means my data on the other partition wont show in windows coz windows sucks when it comes to partitioned USB's.

So is there anything I can do to have a portable linux AND my data? Or is it impossible?

Thanks guys

Just partition your drive.
