When i plug it in - it thinks there are 2 disks (not partitions) on both windows and Linux. It has a weird partition table that doesn''t really make sense to me(from Linux fdisk). It comes up as one single device in windows (on add remove devices) so I''m assuming it is only 1 device with 2 partitions yet in the Disk management it is spread over 2 disks. I''m at a bit of a loss really. Is there some weird partition table that makes the OS think it is 2 disks? I want a USB key that i can boot from. I need to be able to change the partition tables. Whats going on here and why can''t i do this simple task? I have tried re-writing the partition tables (via fdisk) and using dd to zero the disks. At present it is back to the original state(minus the password exe). Its quite a common task and there is nothing on the packaging that mentions this anomaly. Can this be "fixed" or is this by design and thus a waste of my money purchasing?

Kind Regards,
Martin
