SD Card Partitions not viewable in Windows

[Kiii]

Greetings:

Long time lurker. Finally pulled the trigger and got a Macbook Air 3 days ago. I purchased a 64gb microSD card to add storage space. The original use for the card was to place my Dropbox and my Google drive folders on it. While I understand I should pick one cloud storage system, one is for my primary work and the other is for my 2nd job so its not like I can just choose one.

Found out that Google drive only works on a NTFS partition so I partitioned the card into 2, one in NTFS and the other in exFAT.

Problem is windows only recognizes the first main partition of an external storage. Assigning a drive letter to the 2nd partition letters does not work. Tried FAT32 for giggles but it still won't show. So basically I can't see the other drive while on windows but both are viewable on MacOS.

Is there a program that would make the partitions viewable and usable by windows explorer?

Thanks

Google "flip removable bit + usb". Flash drives and SD cards work the same on Windows. You have to make Windows think that it is not a removable drive. It may or may not work though.

Thanks for the response! The Lexar boot program sadly didn't work and found some pretty scary looking workarounds. From what I understand though, if I can trick windows to think the SD card is permanent, which ironically it is since I do not plan to remove it from the slot, than windows will recognize all the partitions.

Will keep searching

I did but I am using a 64bit version whereas the drivers only work for the windows 7 32bit

It does mention an update if the 64 bit drivers from Hitachi will work but there hasn't been one.
