Yes. I get four drive letters. I am running WinXP Professional, fwiw.

Two of them are for the memory cards, and I don't even have memory cards inserted, so of course when I click on those drives they say "Please insert a disk in drive F:" which reminds me of floppy drives - I wonder if I could insert an SD card into the slot with the device powered on and attached to my PC, and the system would just handle it? If I ever get around to digging up one of the SD cards I have around here, maybe I'll try it.

SETTING appears to be a very small partition with the device software install packages and instruction manuals on it - I suspect those items can be deleted once I'm finished setting up, but if my current desktop melts down it'll be handy to have them still, and besides, I don't have any shortage of space on my reader, and I doubt I can get that partition to join the other partition, without reformatting the whole device and who knows what I'd lose then? So I think I'll leave it alone and just ignore it.

READER appears to be the only useful partition.

When I do the "Safely remove hardware" function, removing one drive removes all four. So they aren't adding any extra steps. They just look weird.
