So I formatted afterwards because I used the flash for something else
and it showed a hpfs+ partition (using dd). I need to have a look at the
livecd gparted view (which is then 4GB - but I think it is very
different) but I was also very surprised by the whole stuff. Gparted
stated that their was a problem with the block size (IIRC) which was 512
at one place and 2048 at another place...
