Well, then the first part of my post regarding the use of windows
still stands. If you're limited to windows only, and can't/don't want
to format the flash drive on another gnu/linux box, then you can
either use the full drive for windows, or format the first Gig for
windows as you mentioned wanting to do, and leave the rest empty,
until you're able to run gnu/linux on the laptop. Unfortunately, there
is no way that I know to create/format a partition as ext3/reiserfs
under windows, or anything other than gnu/linux for that matter.
