How to Write a USB Image to a Partition on a USB Drive

Hi. I simply want to write a live USB image of TAILS to a small 128 GB partition I created on a 2 TB USB drive. How do I do this? I can't seem to get Rufus to do it.

You can do this with something like dd on linux.

 

But you normally don't want to, as it won't be bootable, as the boot info needs to be at the very beggining(for legacy), or a efi partition(for uefi boot). Just cloning to a partition won't do either of these, so it can't boot.
