Jonas:
By reducing the 64 GB partition to 40 GB then
creating the Windows installation partition, I was hoping that I could save
installation files for programs for any new install.
But, as I previouslya said, I did not get the
choice, as the program comverting the .iso image to USB that all partitions
on the USB would have to be deleted before it could creat the partition
containing the Windows install.
By the Way, I did try to use, DiskPart to remove
the 7.5 GB, with no success.
So back to the internet to see if anyone has any
mor suggestions.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Hey,
Dave!
But
why do you need to use two partitions?

I would delete the
larger partition, if it existed but, when the program I was using to create
the Windows installation partition from the .ISO file, would be deleted from
the memory stick, I had to agree, even though, I had reduced the maximum
available storage space to 40 GB, to make sure there would be enough space for
the smaller Windows installation partition.

Sorry
I hadn't been following this thread, but have you tried deleting not the
7.5Gb partition, but the larger one instead? Just a
thought.
I have a 64 GB
memory stick, on which I created a partition to install Windows from an ISO
image.
Unfortunately, when
I tried to use the Windows Partition and Format utility to remove the
partition containing the Windows installation and return the memory stick
back to 64 GB, I got an error telling me that the "Delete Volume function
was Unavailable", which meant that the partition could not be
deleted/removed.
Following the
information you gave in your previous message, I downloaded and used
the ImageUSB utility.
The problem is,
that when I selected the option to zero the USB Memory stick to return it
to its maximum storage capacity of 64 GB, ImageUSB got rid
of the information in the Windows installation partition but, it did not
delete/remove the 7.5 GB partition, which was the size of the Windows
Installation partition.
Any suggestions as
to what I may have not done correctly?

I'm not quite sure what "corrupt" means in this
instance.
It is possible for thumb/jump/flash drives used to create
bootable media can seem to lose a lot of the capacity they once had.
The folks who created MemTest86 have a lesser known utility, ImageUSB, that has as its primary purpose creating
multiple bootable USB drives using the same ISO image at one time.
It can also be used, however, to reclaim that "lost" space on those drives
that experience it by using the "Zero USB drive" option in the
utility.
I've had 2 USB thumb drives that have had the "lost
capacity" issue after being used to create bootable media and using
ImageUSB to zero them out again has reclaimed it each time.
