Here I'm of course presuming that partitions aren't overlapping.

That is an interesting idea. On every other system I know, there is one partition that includes the whole disc. So if the partitioning is the problem here, it should be possible to create one partition that spans the whole disc (overlapping all other partitions), even with the classical IBM PC partition scheme. fdisk in expert mode should be able to do that.

Of course the next question is how happy windows is accessing this partition. Should be an interesting experiment at least.
