-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Since you seem to insist on using windows here, you'd probably want to use diskpart, and make the first partition be a ntfs partition on the first 1G of the flash disk, leaving the rest empty. Then, reboot, and format the first partition from my computer. Actually, since the first partition would be 1G in size, you could probably use fat32 if you wanted to. Then of course, reboot into gnu/linux, partition the rest with cfdisk as linux native, reboot I suppose, and run mke2fs on it. A far better way in my opinion would be to do all your partitioning with cfdisk from gnu/linux, and then run mke2fs on the linux partition, and either run mkntfs/mkdosfs from gnu/linux on the first, or format it from within windows as ntfs or fat32.
