Locked Can USB Thumb Drives be Partitioned?

    Is it possible to create multiple partitions on USB Flash Sticks? On my internal (Disk 1) hard drive, I have created a (non bootable) Ubuntu partition with files for WUBI files, and a backup partition D: with .txt files on it; along with C: and SYSTEM. I want to do the same with my USB Thumb Stick: The general E: for files, along with a 2GB partition for VMWare files (preferable U:).  I have used Paragon which is recommended, along with Windows' Partitioning software, and none will allow it. I have read in general discussions that Partitons on USB's are possible, yet cannot be seen by Windows at all. Also that partitions only load via the Bootloader, or only work with some kind of HP software. Help me out, please...
