Hi,

I have a MacBook Pro 2011 with a bootcamp partition (Windows 7) on the internal drive. I am connecting to this Mac an external hard drive (750Go) using the Firewire 800 port. This external hard drive has two partitions: one HFS+ (500GB), one ext-FAT (250GB). When booting from the bootcamp partition, Windows sees the external hard drive but does not recognize any partition in it (using the Windows disk partitioning tool). So Windows considers this disk as blank. Is there anything I can do to have Windows see the ext-FAT partition I created (using the Disk Utility app on the Mac, OS X Lion).

Thanks,

--fred
