Universal USB Installer 1.9.5.2 on Win 7. It gives me an additional capacity storage option with a max of 4gb, which I believe is the most I can do on FAT32.
I believe what I need to do is create 2 partitions, one for the OS and the other for storage. Trying to figure out the best way on Win 7.

How did you create the bootable USB?
I'm on disk utility now. I see the following as one of my choices
Drive
Model: Linux Loop:filesystem.squashfs
Capacity = 699MB
Mount point: Mounted at /rof's (location of home under here)
If I'm reading this correctly, I only have 699MB capacity under Home? Is there any way that I can increase this considering I have roughly 30GB to work with? Is it something that I need to do when I create the Ubuntu Live USB from the .iso file initially?

Yes, the blockchain will be downloaded to the USB stick where the Wallet app is installed.
The size of you Home volume is not limited by the size of your USB stick, but by the created size of that volume.
You can have a 32GB USB with 1GB Home volume.
First check the size of your Home volume, using a disk app like, Disk Utility.

That's a good question.
I'm downloading the client when I boot into Ubuntu via the USB, so wouldn't the wallet location also be my USB? I have 28.7GB free on my USB. The hard drive of the desktop I'm using has 80GB free.

How much free space do you have on your Home volume, where the wallet is located?
The blockchain is currently 13GB large and may be too large for your volume.

Good afternoon
I'm loading Ubuntu from a USB to access my wallet in a 100% secure environment. I've downloaded the client, closed the client, accessed my wallet.dat file and copied it to multiple USB locations without any issues.
Now, my problem is, at some point in time, I want the entire blockchain to download in order to view my coins in my wallet. I know I can access the blockchain via the net, and trace my addresses, but at some point in time, I want to SEE them in my wallet. So, I tried allowing the entire blockchain to download in Ubuntu but I keep getting an error that my disk is full. I'm using a 32GB USB, which a majority of is still empty even with Ubuntu installed.
I would love the ability to boot in Ubuntu at any location and download the entire blockchain. Any ideas on how I can avoid this error? Something tells me that the size of my USB storage isn't the issue.
Thanks
