Indeed, you are right. When using tails on a USB stick created with
other than the Tails installer, I get the following error message
"Device /org/freedesktop/Udisks/devices/sdb was not created using Tails
USB installer" when I try to put persistence on it.
So, regardless of www.pendrivelinux.com, it is not (yet) possible to
create a USB stick that lets you use Tails with persistence within MS
Windows.
I maintain that the above would be very desirable. Particularly for
people on travel, and for those who must depend on computers that are
not allowed to be rebooted. Would you know how to elevate this issue
for future development?
Thanks,
Jack

With this in mind, I installed tails-i386-0.22.1 to an 4GB flash drive
with Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.2.exe as described in "Using a
Portable Virtualbox to run Linux from USB" by www.pendrivelinux.com.
However its installer did not display its -otherwise included-
opportunity to set persistence. I emailed Pendrive about this; they
answered: "Obviously Persistence feature is unsupported for TAILS."
However, I know this is not true.
Actually this is true. It is not possible to create a persistent volume
unless you use Tails Installed, as described here:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/
I completed the USB installation on my library's public windows
computer. The resulting flash drive boots from the BIOS, but Tails is
without persistence.
So, the question remains: "what must I do to achieve my original goal."
Read our documentation on USB installation and use Tails Installer.
