Make a dual-partitioned HFS+/FAT32 drive play nice with Windows
Authored by: UCMacGuru on Apr 28, '11 10:22:25AM

I think what you may be seeing is specific to using a USB flash drive for your test. IIRC, Windows will only see one partition on USB drives. It considers them "removable" and the Windows Disk management tool wont even allow you to create multiple partition on such devices. There are ways to trick windows in to treating the drive as a hard disk (as MacOS seems to do) but they are either hacky, not trivial, or only work with some subset of flash models.
