Comment(by haiqu):

 The panel "Woof Info" in the snapshot shows what the system thinks is
 there when doing a "right-click, Get Info" on the drive. It's seen as
 18.1Gb which is correct. I'm now attaching a snapshot of the boot sector
 of that partition, but I don't think it will provide any further
 information.

 > what does "Partition 4 was not available to set up as BFS from Haiku, so
 it was formatted as FAT32 from WinXP." mean? why wasn't it available? what
 do you want to say?

 OK, that needs clarifying. If I go into DriveSetup and try to initialize
 that partition, the option is greyed out. I had no such problem with
 Partition 3 but, if you look at the first snapshot you can see that it's
 still narked in the partition table as type 06 (fat16, dos 3.31) which
 isn't right and indicates that DriveSetup only changed the bbot sector of
 partition 3 and not the partition table. However, since I have no problems
 at all with partition 3 it wasn't mentioned in the report.
