So, um, I downloaded the memstick.img file for FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE and
then I dd'ed that to my 16GB ADATA USB flash thingy. After that, it
worked just fine, and as expected. No problems. I could boot FreeBSD
from it.
Now however, I need to use that USB stick for something else, and I
want to

Did you try using fdisk? It is probably a standard MBR boot
The problem is that now, the Windows system seems to think that the
size of the thing is only something like 24.2 Megabytes... *not* the
actual size, which is vastly larger (16GB).

Don't use fdisk, it's waay out of date, doesn't work with a lot of
modern large drives, and has horribly arcane syntax. Modern versions of
gpart support MBR, so there's basically no reason to suffer through
fdisk anymore.
use newfs_msdos in FreeBSD,then format it to NTFS in windows. I used this
command solve the same problem.
