Some USB drives have partitions full of Windows software hardwired
into the drive firmware.
Not just Flash drives - there are rotating USB drives that "provide"
such partitions. One that I looked at had the installer for a backup
utility.
I expect that it would be impossible to remove those partitions from
some models of such drives, short of re-flashing the firmware with
some kind of replacement.
