Like I have said elsewhere, this is a workaround not a true fix. The size reported to DOS (and Windows) is still the fake total capacity as passed back by the USB MSD controller when given the SCSI command to find this. BUT, making the active FAT32 partition then allows DOS/Windows to make the correct read/write commands that will only ever use the (active) partitions set parameters.
Its like the old workaround for drives with larger capacity than the BIOS would support, in effect you "waste" the extra (fake in this case) capacity.
