Hi, Hopefully someone can help with this. I recently created an empty partition on a Sata drive with Disk Utility, then Boot Camped into winXP, and formatted the new partition with NTFS. I was able to use the partition, copy files to it, etc., all good in Windoze.
When I booted back to Leopard, I couldn't see the partition, it shows as "Free Space" which its not.
What the ???!!??? I can see (and see INTO) my untitled NTFS windoze drive.
What gives?

Thanks

Les

While you was in windows, did you by any chance modify the drive or partition where Windows is installed, other than format it to NTFS (assumedly during install)??
