The "weirdness" is caused by Windows treating (most) keychain drives exactly like it treats floppy disks. IOW, no partitions, just raw on the device. I have a USB keychain from HP and it came vfat formated on a partition. I have since re-partitioned it and carry around an encrypted partition on there, in addition to a vfat and an ext2 partition (three total). -- Lamont Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Instructor Guru Labs <http://www.gurulabs.com/>
