Merging 'partitions' of a USB drive

Hi

I have a USB thumb drive that appears as two letters when I insert it into my desktop.

I believe this is a partition, but I am not 100% certain.

Regardless, I'd like to merge the two portions into one drive.

I'm not quite sure if this is part of HDD Raw Copy tools functions or if i need another program to do this.

Thanks

Hi,
is one showing as a CDROM?

The regular way to partition flash drives is with the MP Tools (Mass Production Tools)

can you right click on "My Computer" or equivalent, choose manage, then "Disk Management" and maybe screenshot the window:
hold alt, press Prnt Scr. Then go into MS Paint and hold Cntrl and hit V to paste the copied window.

edit out any personal info and save as a jpg

Thanks.

Both are showing as separate USB drives.

What is the drive? Some come with a CD partition to hold files or U3 or similar, so maybe the firmware is corrupt an the mode for that partition is wrong. Can you find the program Chipeasy and show the results?
