How do I repartition a USB drive?

I ran DamnSmallLinux and installed it to my USB 1GB stick. It worked perfectly, it made a 50mb ext2 partition for grub/dsl and the rest is fat32 for regular files and the settings. The problem I'm having is I want to install the ultimate boot cd into it as well as having a separate partition for documents. I was able to get UBCD installed before I partitioned the stick, but before I do that again I want to partition it first. Fdisk from within linux didn't work, it made the drive show up as unformatted and when I went into fdisk again it gave me a bunch of errors about it not ending on the correct cylinder (even when I just fdisked the Fat32 as one big drive!).

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
 
Did you use fdisk properly? By default, the Linux fdisk creates partitions IDed as Linux. Windows ignores these. Also, did you format the partition as FAT32 after creating it? :p
