USB Flash Drive Partition

[Nonatua]

I have an iPAQ, using a 2 MB Sd flash card. I have partitioned it in 3 parts
for better organizing the programs, files and images. The SD card works fine
and I can see the partitions on the iPAQ as Storage Card 1, 2, and 3.

Partitions are FAT32 made in a PC with WinME O/S. I also can see them with
Win98 O/S and as I say, in the iPAQ WinMobile 4.0 O/S.

But I was surprised that when using several PC's with WinXP Pro O/S, I can
see only the first partition. In Administration Tools I can see the other two
partitions inactive, and I can't activate them at all also using Acronis.

Please, I thank very much for any reply and, better, for a solution.

Best regards.-

Windows 2000, XP and higher do not support multiple partitions
on 'removeable' drives, see here:
