If you were on our network, you wouldn't be allowed to plug in a USB drive 
on your work computer.   Not that no one does it, but 'officially' it's a 
no-no.  There's no way to verify what is on the drive before it gets a 
chance to infect your machine.   Your best bet for keeping work/home 
separated is to have TWO devices and don't mix the data on them.   I am not 
aware of a way to partition a thumb drive, but then, I haven't thought to 
try it before now.......
