pen on Windoze

I have a 2GB pen drive with 2 partitions, the first one with ext2 and
the second one with vfat. Partitioning and filesystems were made on
linux. I set the partition type of the 2nd to 'b', with fdisk.  I use
the 1st all the time with no problems (only on lionux). The 2nd is there
for "just in case". I tried using the pen on a computer running NoGoodOS
to copy some stuff, and, sure enough, it didn't work. The thing
recognizes the hw (as USB storage device) and a disk icon appears on "My
Computer", but it doesn't show partitions and clicking on the icon
brings up a "do you want to format this" dialogue.

So, is there something that I missed, by using linux to partition and
make the filesystems?

And if this is not fixable from inside linux, is it a good idea to let
NoGoodOS to format it? (Meaning: can I tell it to make 2 partitions and
can I put a ext2 fs on one of them later, on linux?)
