Need help with partitioned HD

[ajgrimm91]

Hello all,

I am a mac user and have recently partitioned my internal HD for both Mac and Windows 7, it works like a charm and I love being able to have the flexibility of both Operating Systems, however I have encountered a glitch of sorts with my external, which is a Seagate GoPro 500g.

The issue is this: I have partitioned my external to be 250gmac and 250g NTSC for windows, however I cant seem to access the free space dedicated to windows while logged onto windows 7, I cant view it at all, its like its not even there. Help please! My goal is to save .mov files there that I will be recording using a Dazzle HD that I recently purchased.

Thanks in advance for all your help

Windows can only mount a partition with an ID that it recognizes. You might have incorrectly setup your partition. Assuming that you actually created the partition and it doesn't automount because of perhaps an invalid partition:

We will be setting your partition ID to 07 which is NTFS

In windows seven...
W+R>"cmd.exe">"diskpart">"list disk">"select [external hd]">"list partitions">"select [windows partition]>"detail [partition]">remember id in-case of error>"set id = 07"

if this fails, try "set id = 07 override"

You should get... "Diskpart successfully set the partition ID."
Restart your external harddrive and windows should be able to read it.
