   Bob,   
      
   I changed a 4GB thumbdrive to a 503MB thumbdrive.   
      
   After I had used a Tripp Lite U238-000-1 USB 2.0 IDE/SATA Combo   
   Adapter to connect a old 1.2GB drive that had 3 Partitions on it,   
   I Backed it up using Acronis True Image Home (TIH).   
      
   I Recovered the TIH backup to the 4GB Thumbdrive, and during the   
   process I put a checkmark in each of the boxes for the 3 Partitions   
   AND I also checked the box for a Fourth entry called MBR.   
      
   When the Restore finished I saw some pop up nessages that made me   
   think that I shouldn't had put a checkmark in the MBR box, so I   
   clicked Cancel on all of those pop up messages, and when the TIH   
   Main Menu screen appeared, I tried to read the 4GB Thumbdrive   
   and saw it had the files in the first Partition, so I deleted   
   all of them and later found out the drive was now 503MB instead   
   of 4GB.
