Hello, I bought a new 64gb high speed flash drive and I wondered if I could split it into 2 partitions so that one would be used for a live boot os (puppy linux probably) and the other one as a normal USB.
Would this work?

You could probably do that but a better way is to use yumi use the original iso file and make a persistence file to keep all your changes.
That way you can easily switch between distros, use multiple different bootable isos and you can easily delete a distro you don't want anymore by just deleting the iso and persistence file.
The whole flash would be accessible normally and the distro would just be files on there.
