I don't think this is the problem. Since Linux can easily read vfat file systems why would Kobo bother to format the drive in ext3 and then add extra strange code to simulate a vfat file system within an ext3 system? The real issue is probably the fact that the flash drive is formatted with multiple partitions. I don't use Windows but I gather that Windows cannot deal with drives that have more than one partition on them.

You could install a something like virtual box and install something like Ubuntu on it and then try and read the card.card.

More likely, you can find a small utility that allows Windows to deal with multiply partitioned drives and then it will work just fine. Apparently Lexar has such a utility, that makes Windows treat the flash drive as non-removable storage, and then you can deal with multiple partitions.
Here is a link:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5982304_part...lash-card.html This tells how to format with multiple partitions, but hopefully you can just flip the non-removable bit and get at the partitions already there. (Make sure you don't do step 7, in other words!)
