Not that way, but there is a way to do it.
See, Windows will look for the partition with the *number* one, no
matter where it is located on the media.
So, dd the hybrid iso to the media, create the additional partition
*behind it*, then use fdisk to note down the start/end sectors of both
partitions, delete the partitions and recreate them in reverse order, so
that the physically first (the dd'ed hybrid iso) bears the number two.
Works just fine for us - we're using that to create bootable USB media
and put our portable executable for MS-Windows and the configuration
files shared between the two environments on the FAT partition.
