Further, my Win2k accesses the sda16 without any problem.

Such a limit does not exist for udev:

root@grml ~ # ls -la /dev/hda*

Thanks for the respond mika. glad to know that. The difference is mine is sda and yours is hda.

I think the answer I get from gmane.linux.debian.user by Greg Folkert is right, my SATA is recognized as SCSI device, which limits to 15 partitions by SCSI Standard.

However, both responds from gmane.linux.debian.user implied that the sda16 should be recognized as sdb (under both linux & windows). any idea?
