My external HDD works fine using MacDrive, but I can't seem to get the internal OSX partition to show up using the same methods.
Any ideas?

I'll try an update, thanks.ManchesterTrix said:Make sure MacDrive is up to date. They had to release an update for the specific problem of not seeing the Intel OSX partition.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm running Parallels and clicking on "Partition a Mac hard drive" as the one MacDrive option, all I get shown is the 8Gb Virtual HDD and not the OS X drive. Again, if I try "View Mac disks on my computer" all I get to see is everything other than my OS X HD. This may seem a silly question, but where I'm going wrong? I would have expected to be given the option of accessing the OS X HD in either or both of these functions.ewinemiller said:No suggestions except contact the MacDrive folks.
One general suggestion once you get it working, back up data often. I've been running MacDrive to view my internal drive for a while now. Three times I've gotton a blue screen from MacDrive and the end result was a dead OSX install. I had to rebuild the machine from scratch. They've been patching and the blue screens have stopped, but just the other day I went browse my OSX drive, Explorer locked up, I had to forcibly shutdown windows (killing the explorer process didn't work because the problem was deeper in MacDrive), and there was corruption on the OSX drive as a result.
MacDrive in that configuration is not quite stable yet so just be wary.
