I have sandisk 32 GB USB partitioned in two partitions. Both are FAT32 format and first is 20 GB and second partition is of 10 GB.
I use 1st partition for file storage as it is detected in windows and 2nd partition is not detected (don't event want to) which I want to create bootable persistent Ubuntu.
While using Startup disk creator in Ubuntu 16.04, it only shows whole USB as a single and there is no option to select from two partitions.
How could I use 2nd partition to create bootable using Startup Disk Creator.

I tried to do this as well. There is a problem though. In windows only the first partition will be visible. Even if you use startup disk creator in Linux, your windows will only see the partition containing the bootable Linux.
However this should only be true on USB pen drives. USB HDD or SSD should not encounter this problem.
Let me test, and I will respond hopefully with an answer.

UPDATE
I believe your answer is right here:
Live USB on a 2-partition usb-drive
ENDUPDATE
OK, so I created two partitions on an 8gb flash drive, I then put an ISO on the drive using Disk Image Writer Unfortuently it over wrote all the partitions and created this:
As you can see the ISO takes up very little space including the second partition which I believe is the swap. But it did leave 6.6gb of free space.
My suggestion is that you save the data off your drive, burn the ISO, and then take the free space and make that data space, and move your data back on there. As long as you use FAT or NTFS, windows should not have an issue mounting the drive.

Making the drive be bootable requires overwriting the beginning of the whole drive so all partitions are lost because the partition table is overwritten. Once you have made a Linux boot image then adding a FAT or NTFS partition after that should be seen be Windows. Backup your data.
