"making partitions that windows doesn't see is trivially easy"

Are we talking "partitions Windows wont mount because they aren't FAT/NTFS" or "partitions that literally do not show up to Windows Disk Management because the disk itself is showing a different capacity. EG: A 16GB USB reporting only 8GB, regardless of the OS installed"

Like one of these, only malicious

A big chunk of space would take some work, but if you only needed a few KB there is slack space (at least a handful of sectors) on the end of every USB drive that doesn't align with partition sizes. I've used it before to store data on how many times my reformatting tool was used on the disk.

I'm not sure. I lost the flash drive, despite living in a tiny one bedroom apartment in Manhattan. Maybe a 3 letter agency took it while I was away.
