Problem with partitions

Question

I have partitioned my USB (Corsair Survivor 16GB) with GParted in linux:

1x Extended partition 8 GB2x Primary FAT32 //Together about 4GB1x Linux swap

In extended: 1x logical 8GB

In linux all is working good, but in Windows 7 RC (I have this Windows version) it loads and shows and assigns drive letter to only one partition. I tried to list partition on my USB in Diskpart and here is listing:

DISKPART> list disk      Disk ###  Status         Size     Free     Dyn  Gp      --------  -------------  -------  -------  ---  --      Disk 0    Online          149 GB  2706 MB      Disk 1    No Media           0 B      0 B      Disk 2    Online           15 GB  2048 KB    DISKPART> select disk 2    Disk 2 is now the selected disk.    DISKPART> list partition      Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset      -------------  ----------------  -------  -------      Partition 0    Extended          8001 MB    31 KB      Partition 0    Logical           8001 MB    63 KB      Partition 1    Primary           6502 MB  8001 MB      Partition 0    Primary            400 MB    14 GB      Partition 0    Primary            517 MB    14 GB

Disk 2 is my USB. I also tried troubleshooter, but it says "Troubleshooter couldn't identify problem."

I also tried assign drive letter manually (I continue from previous listing):

DISKPART> list partition      Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset      -------------  ----------------  -------  -------      Partition 0    Extended          8001 MB    31 KB      Partition 0    Logical           8001 MB    63 KB      Partition 1    Primary           6502 MB  8001 MB      Partition 0    Primary            400 MB    14 GB      Partition 0    Primary            517 MB    14 GB    DISKPART> select partition 0    Partition 0 is now the selected partition.    DISKPART> active    Virtual Disk Service error:    The specified partition is a not a primary or logical volume.    DISKPART> assign    There is no volume specified.    Please select a volume and try again.    DISKPART> select partition 1    Partition 1 is now the selected partition.    DISKPART> active    DiskPart marked the current partition as active.    DISKPART> assign    There is no volume specified.    Please select a volume and try again.

I also tried list volumes, but it shows me only one partition:

DISKPART> list volume  Volume ###  Ltr  Label        Fs     Type        Size     Status     Info  ----------  ---  -----------  -----  ----------  -------  ---------  --------  Volume 0     E                       DVD-ROM         0 B  No Media  Volume 1     C                NTFS   Partition     36 GB  Healthy    System  Volume 2     D   DATA         NTFS   Partition    110 GB  Healthy  Volume 3     F                       Removable       0 B  No Media  Volume 4     H   SLAX         FAT32  Removable   8001 MB  Healthy       //My usb partition

How I can get my USB work in Windows 7? Please help me, and sorry for my english.
