Hello everyone,
I've been struggling with my Mac & Bootcamp for a while, more specific, managing hard drive partitions...
Now This is my setup (iMac 27" i7 late 2009):
1TB HDD, which consists of the following partitions:
574GB Macintosh HD (Mac OS Extended)
182GB Bootcamp Parition which shows up as DISK0S3 (partition can not be modified, and isn't visible in Finder)
The other GB's are allocated to yet another NTFS Drive (label DATA) which I set up in Windows 7... (maybe here's the problem?) and are NOT visible in Mac OS X
Now, what makes it even more complicated, is the fact that I used a disk partitioning program in Windows (MiniTool Partition Wizard home) to increase the size of my Bootcamp disk by shrinking the other NTFS (DATA) drive because I was running out of space in Windows.
Before I did that, the Bootcamp drive was still showing up fine in Mac OS X, but the DATA drive didn't show up, in fact, it never did, even before the shrink.
All the drives show up fine in Windows, I can read from the Macintosh HD...
To make a long story short, my question is: How can I make my Bootcamp (NTFS drive) show up in Mac OS X and another NTFS partition which I created in Windows?
Thanks a lot if you could help me!
I hope this isn't too complicated to understand, because it is for me at least, but if someone would be able to solve my problem, you would sure make my day, because I recently ordered Mac OS X Lion from the Apple Store & It got stuck in the middle of the install because it couldn't find all the drives so I had to buy a program named Disk Warrior to fix all the errors & was luckily able to undo the Lion Install, but so far I have not been able to install it yet on my Mac
If you need any pics of the HDD setup (disk utility? partitions in Windows?), please let me know.
