I once had a computer where MS Windows would not recognize a non-Windows-formatted (ATA) hard drive,
i.e. Windows could not format the drive.

I forced the motherboard BIOS to use LBA access.
Windows could then see/use the drive.

You should be able to do an fdisk from Windows and see the Linux disk partion table as unknown partitions.

This might give Windows something to gnaw on.
