    I've tried a google>=how to> by going into disk management and clicking on the two partition drives and when I right click there was no option to delete as suggested.

    I've also formatted the flash drive but that doesn't get rid of the two partitions.

    Any suggestions pls.

    Is one of the partitions a CD ROM drive or there as advertising for the flash drive? Some factory partitioned drives cannot have certain partitions removed. I've come across such a USB before and it was very frustrating

    hi yoyo...no not a cd rom drive, the brand is integral and one partition was for password protection.

    It probably can't be removed, Googling I can't find any password protection "unistaller" for integral drives, the u3 enhancements for some USBs can be uninstalled so there was a possibility, but I don't think this drive supports that utility
