If your USB flash drive holds other data, such as files, applications, etc... is it still possible to put a LiveCD ISO (such as GParted) on it (along with all of the other existing data) and successfully boot to your USB flash drive?



The situation:

I have a Dell Optiplex 740. Thanks to Dell's idea to include weird fricken chipset drivers, GParted doesn't pick up the HDD and just spins and spins and spins. I ran out of CDs and I've found a couple LiveCD downloads in the testing stage with GParted, but I have nothing to burn them to. I was hoping I could just add it to my flash drive and boot to it.
 
I think you would need to partition the drive and then use unetbootin to burn the iso to the partition.
