    USB drive with partitions

    Hi people,

    I have a problem reading my usb drive which has three partitions. The USB is produce by Canyon with 3 partitions as follows:
    1. a 3MB partition (primary) which is used to run the unlocking software for the other partitions
    2. a 800MB partition which is not locked by default when i run it on windows xp or any other platforms of windows
    3. a 150MB partition that is locked and requires the software in partition 1 to unlock

    Im running the knoppix dvd 5.1 installed to the hdd but when i insert the usb, knoppix only reads the 3MB partition (partition 1) and doesnt allow me access to the other 2 partitions.

    Please help because this is my main usb drive which i use on a daily basis and i am committing myself to run fully on linux and not to return to windows but i have to solve this problem first
