 I have this same issue with Windows XP too. I think its not your
 fault but the OS's. For most users one partition on a flash drive is
 standard, so WinXP must have decided to limit the number of
 partitions displayable to one.

Thanks for the confirmation.  This is amazing:

 The interesting thing is, though, that Windows 98 can see more than
 one partition on a flash drive.

Amazing as in, XP can't.  This seems a fairly insane design decision on
the part of MS.


Does Vista do this, too?
