urbanwarrior Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 right here goes, i just recently purchased a new mac with this set up in mind. i wanted to set my mac up to read n right to drives from both os so i set up like this i made 1 250gb nfts partition which i just use in windows anyway which is a primary partition, then i split the rest up into 5 logical fat 32 drives so i could open edit and save from both os, the 1st 4 are named "hd1 prod" "hd2 prod" and so on, and the 5th partition i made is just a general mac pc swap partition, however when i boot into mac os i can only see the nfts partition and not the 5 fat 32 ones. is this because its a logical partition instead of a primary one? or have i done something wrong any help would be greatly appreciated regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighmac Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Check in Disk Utility to see if they are mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon351 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 In fact, check whether Disk Utility shows them at all. I'm not sure how/if OS X handles MBR extended partitions. Now I'm curious and I might test that later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
