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. :-)]
