USB pendrive mobility (fat32)?



Yeah, I think this stuff (talking to Win*) sucks too.  And this is a
Win* problem (sorry) but I'm a Debian user, not a Win* user, so I'm
ignorant wrt this stuff.  4 Gb pendrive from Staples:

(0) phreaque [root] /etc_ fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 4103 MB, 4103938560 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 498 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1          38      305203+   b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sda2              39         127      714892+   b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sda3   *         128         225      787185   83  Linux
/dev/sda4             226         498     2192872+  83  Linux

Plugging that into the corporate WinXP laptop only displays the first
ca. 300 Mb ptn.  Why doesn't it see the 2nd?  How have I borked the
ptn table?


[Knoppix and /scratch are on the two 83s, yet to be tested.  :-)]
