I would like to format a USB stick (32 GB) in a way so I have:

  1. A working *nix live system (preferably Arch Linux), about 3-5 GB in size
  2. A 'data' partition that is seen by windows (preferably NTFS) that I can use like any regular USB drive and uses the remaining size of the stick.
  3. I want that NTFS partition to be mounted in the Arch Linux live system

I have so far read that the big data partition should be the first in order for Windows to easily work with it. However I think that conflicts with the stick being bootable. Is this still doable?

The stick is a Kingston DataTraveler DTSE9 which I keep on my key ring. The live system is meant as an emergency / recovery system.

If FAT32 is acceptable you'll be able to do this with UNetbootin.
