Hi, I would say this is a Windows problem. Old Windows certainly had the habit of only reading the partition table up to the first non-windows partition. Looks like WinXP still does the same. But as your only reason for trying for days to get this to work is a possible performance loss, you may perhaps want to try to measure this loss and see if it warrants days of work against Windows.
