Don't you trust me?

Done. Just one thing: list volume shows the flash partition.

What we discussed here. Diskpart does not list flash drives (although "list volume" works) under XP (32 or 64 bits).

That's a bit radical, don't you think? I'll test 2 other USB flash drives I have around. You could also use WMI (I think) to list the drives and partitions. In any case, I think it could work on non-flash drives.

I am running an x64 OS. The 32 bit version won't run neither.

I know that... In fact I just run diskpart from a partition with Windows 7 that I installed today. It says it's not a valid Win32 Application.

It won't run the app.

It's not listed...

My main OS is XP. I used 7 inside a VMWare machine. The USB flash is not showed in the prep tool list. Sorry, don't know how to use diskpart.

Hum... What? Why? Thanks USB prep works now with the USB HDD with 2 partitions. However, the USB flash drive is still not recognised under XP. Under 7 (VMWare), it is. I tried it on the second partition and it's stuck at "Preparing USB..." Edit: I think it wasn't stuck, there was a msgbox that I didn't see.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question. As far as I know, partitions can be active or not, not disks. What is the command you run to make the disk active? Do you run bootsect.exe /nt60 at any time by the way?

Yes! Yes!

The title says it all. I've got one usb flash drive (16GB, FAT32) and a USB 160GB hard drive (2 partition, one of them NTFS and the other FAT32 IIRC), and the program does not list any of them.
