Can't View/Edit bootcamp drive in OSX?

[ImprezaSTi]

I've tried googling this but can't seem to find anything.

My problem is that I cannot see the bootcamp drive in OSX. The windows drive icon is not on the desktop, and I cannot see the windows drive in the settings where you choose the default drive. I am running 10.5 Leopard.

I had bootcamp running windows xp before (now I formatted and installed windows 7) and I use to be able to view files that were on my windows drive while in OSX, but after I installed windows 7, I cannot. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Thanks in advanced!

If it's any cancelation, I have the exact same issue - and just assume that it's how Bootcamp works with Windows 7.

Especially if you have formatted the drive as NTFS - then your Mac will not be able to edit the drive anyway, without either a terminal hack, or third party software.

OS X does not natively support writing (only reading) to NTFS drives.

An opensource Linux driver has been ported to OS X:

I believe you also have to install MacFUSE but I may be wrong.

Also, you need to be running the 32-bit kernel for this.

I guess I kind of jumped ahead of myself. I am not really worried about not being able to edit the ntfs drive as I am aware OSX does not natively support this. I am just wondering why I can't even read the files, and why OSX does not recognize an existence of my bootcamp drive. Hope that clears things up a bit.
