i also have this doubt. Windows only reads the first partition of a flash storage device AFAIK. but i have read some unsatisfactory tutorials on doing so.

If you want a card to partition such that a part of it can be treated as internal memory, then it just doesn't sound even theoretically possible!

It's like desiring a system partition like E: drive to act like RAM. Partition maybe used for Virtual (or Swap) memory, but it can never act as RAM.
