Thanks. I can live with Windows only seeing one partition; I'll use Linux for the occasional need to transfer a file from one partition to another.

Without using trickery, how do I ensure that Windows sees the one partition I want it to see? Does the partition have to be placed first, or last? Or do I format only one partition with a format Windows that can understand (FAT32 or NTFS), so that Windows will see the FAT32/NTFS partition and ignore the ext2/ext3 Linux partition?

it might 'just work' on a standard usb hard drive - they arn't the same as a USB stick to windows

For Windows, only the physically first partition is (almost) guaranteed to be accessible. The other partitions might or might not, depending on parameters that are not all that clear, and that also depend upon the version of Windows.

Linux doesn't seem to be able to read multiple partitions created by Windows 10 (Ubuntu specifically) @harrymc superuser.com/questions/1470936/…
