    I have a 16 gb bootable usb stick(Opensuse Live Os - Fat32 format) which is very slow. And i have a 2TB faster external drive(NTFS format) that has 1TB information.

    I just wanna clone my usb stick to external drive and made it bootable without loosing 1TB information on it.

    Can i just create 16gb fat32 partition on external drive(in 1Tb empty space) and clone my usb stick to it and make it bootable?

    "Can i just create 16gb fat32 partition on external drive(in 1Tb empty space) and clone my usb stick to it and make it bootable?" -> Yes. you can clone it. However, you might have to deal with the boot loader on that harddrive by yourself if it fails to boot after cloning.
