USB drive shows only one partition
Just thrown away my hideous BT Home Hub 3 and replaced it with a Netgear D6400, latest firmware installed (V1.0.0.56_1.0.56). All seems well except for the USB-connected 2TB Western Digital drive I'...
Glad to have been usefull to you.
Kudos appriciated.

That was a really good suggestion. I eventually got a USB thumb drive set up with two partitions and ReadyShare does actually see both: fantastic news!
I think the two non-primary partitions may be Extended rather than Logical (they're reported as logical by the EaseUS tool I'm using). I may be able to convert from Extended to Logical in which case job done! Let's see.
Thanks.

I am glad that I could eventually helped you to partially solve your issue!
Thumbs up!!
Success! But I'm not 100% sure why.
Having spent Sunday backing up the three partitions on the USB drive, last night I converted one of the extended partitions to logical in EaseUS Partition Manager and confirmed that the content was as I expected on a desktop. I then plugged the drive into the D6400, expecting to see the primary and one of the non-primary partitions ... and lo! ... I could see all three.
I'm currently running with an apparent mix of three types of partition but it seems to be quite happy, I have the primary, a logical and the unconverted extended partition. I don't intend to tinker further, it's working for my purposes.
I reckon this is solved: thanks for your help!
