    I partitioned and formated a 4gb US flash drive in Linux (Hardy Heron) as 745mb fat16, 863mb fat16 and 2.15gb ext2. It works fine in Linux. Windows recognizes that there are three partitions (it gets the sizes right and labels each as healthy), but can only deal with the first (XP assigns a drive letter and I can read and write). I can't read, write, format or assign a drive letter to the second partition. When I try to format the second, I get "Logical Disk Manager: The operation did not complete because the partition or volume is not enabled. To enable the partition or volume, restart the computer"

    Any ideas how to fix this?
