[BFix] OT geek help

Being no expert and also never having thought about a partition on a flash drive, I would think a work and personal folder on the drive, but don't know how the protection would work on just one folder.
   
  Then I decided to do a google search, and this answers the question, but please realize I do not know if this is all for real or not:

  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.......
