It was my problem; I forgot to hit the "format" button in MDK control
center, and therefore Windows couldn't recognize the unformatted FAT
partitions that I had defined. Oops :-P It's alright though, 'cause the
Windows Setup I was trying to use killed the disk somehow... problems
over. When there's no disk to format you don't have much of a problem
formatting. :-P
