sometimes first partition is a virtual CDROM, I cant remember what the thing was now, but there was also something that had apps on a partition that would load when inserted, and there is also some with security.

if partitions were created by a user, such as mucking about with Linux or whatever, then diskpart should get it right. Did you run diskpart as administrator? did you try like as here:

otherwise the drive could be corrupt
