title: Raw partition access in Windows Vista
body: <p>Accessing a raw disk partition in Windows Vista requires kernel mode control, as opposed to for instance WinXP where you can access it from user mode.</p>
  
  <p>However, I've heard that when it comes to USB flash memory, a partition can still be accessed from user mode even on Windows Vista.</p>
  
  <p>Is this true?</p>
  
  <p>Regards</p>
