Its important to point out this limitation of only reading the first partition is mainly on Windows.

I don't need it to boot, don't need it anymore. I just wanted my USB flash drive back and working again, with all of its bits and bytes, under Windows.

"flashdrives can only have 1 partition"[citation needed]. I haven't tried, but every flash drive I've seen has come as a MBR-partitioned device so there should be no reason why it can't have multiple partitions. Maybe this is an artificial limitation in Microsoft Windows?

@MichaelKjörling My bad. I mean only the first partition will be visible in windows.

You can mount more than one partition--it's just not always mounted by default, and you have to go into disk management. Also, LPChip, please edit your answer rather than just correcting mistakes in the comments.
