Boot Camp with Win 8 Can't See The USB External Drive [MBR with NTFS, Fat32, HFS Partitions]

Hi. When I boot to Boot Camp with the latest Apple Windows Support drivers can't see my USB Flash Drive, DVD and OS X volumes but not my USB external drive that has an MBR partition scheme (using iPartition from GUID) and in there it has different volumes [HFS when I boot to Snow Leopard, Fat32, NTFS]. What can I do with Boot Camp to make it see my USB external drive and why isn't it seeing the USB when it can see the USB flash drive both use USB?
Thank you in advance.
God bless.

I have a MacBook 10.5.8 with Boot Camp. I can only operate the Windows side. When I move into MacOS it does not open.

Your phrasing is not clear. How do you reboot into Mac OS? /can you describe the process step by step?
Usually, you should do like this:
- while in win, restart
- immediately after chime, press option or alt key
- wait for 2-3 seconds, you should see the boot options
- select Mac OS partition
If you have performed all these steps, and, after choosing Mac OS partition, you cannot boot into Mac OS, then your system is corrupt and should be reinstalled.

I created a new home folder on an external but didn't move my old files over. Now I can't see the old hard drive in my mac mini. How can I locate that drive?

I wanted to move my home folder to an external drive. I created a new home folder and in advanced options I moved it over. I didn't however move my files over first, my bad. Now I can't see the hard drive on my mac mini. Is it possible to reverse it or get access to the old home folder and is it possible to still use the mac mini's internal hard drive for storage? How do I find my shared folder, it was on the internal drive. I'm new to macs as you might have guessed at this debockle. Can anyone help?

I'm using Mavricks. I wanted to move my home directory to an external and went into sys prop/users/advanced options and moved the folder ok. Being a noobie on Macs I didn't copy my data and such. So my settings were all new. Basicly now I don't see the internal drive on my mini. There is a lot of strage I'm not able to access. The internal drive doesn't show up. How can I put a folder back onto it so it shows up?

HT3986 boot camp has no option to put iso to external drive

I have no blank discs and want to put windows iso on my thumbdrive. When I get to the spot in boot camp assistant where I check that option, it is blank. See my picture example at the url. So how do I put the iso on the thumbdrive and install it to my mac.

This is from Apple
You may be able to install Windows 7 with a USB flash drive that contains a Windows 7 ISO image downloaded from Microsoft. To check whether you can do so, open Boot Camp Assistant, click Continue, and see if the option “Create a Windows 7 install disk” is available.
So, as the option is not available you can't
Burn the iso to a disk.

[SCHROOT] Can't see my USB hard drive

Hi
I use an schroot environment to run 32 bit applications on my arch64 system.
All runs well, but I have a problem I don't know how to solve myself.
I can't see my USB harddrives from inside the chroot system, so , for example 32 bit browsers can't save files on my USB hd.
I tried to mount with the "--bind" option the HD :
sudo mount --bind /media/HD /opt/arch32/media/HD
Reading the HD with "ls /opt/arch32/media/HD" works outside the chroot, but then when I try to read the HD with "ls /media/HD" from inside the chroot I get a "PERMISSION DENIED" error.
I don't know what to do. How am I supposed to see my USB hds from inside the chroot system?
Thanks
Marcello

I don't know to be honest, it's the first time that I do such a thing (chroot) , and I never tried a 32 on 32 bit chroot system

Can't see files on external drive

I have been FTPing files using Filezilla from my server to external driver. I can not see the specific files or folder (call it foo) on my hard drive using Finder).
I initially thought that the files did not transfer, so tried again. Filezilla though keeps on seeing the files and of course asks Do I want to overwrite them?" So how do I change my settings to actually see those files. Note, I have changed my preferences to "see all files."
Thanks

Oh boy. Excuse me for my mistake. Yes I am in the wrong place. I have my 250Gig Westernal digital hard drive connected to my macbook pro.
Yeah it's weird. But as I said, Fileziller seems to see it and I have a test site running on one host's server that is fine. When I went FTP the files (they are drupal). Everything comes over except my one folder where all my images are.
So do you want me to post this in the leopard forum?

Boot Camp in Yosemite can't see Macintosh HD

I have a 27" Late 2012 iMac with a 1TB Fusion drive running Yosemite 10.10.1 and Boot Camp with Windows 7 (which I just installed). My previous Boot Camp installations were all able to see the Macintosh HD from Windows 7 using the Boot Camp HFS+ driver (installed with the Support Software package). This installation cannot.
I thought that maybe I didn't have the HFS+ driver installed correctly, but lo-and-behold, it is: I can see and read external HFS+ drives just fine. It's only the internal drive that I can't read. Windows Disk Management can see that the drive exists but the OS simply can't read it in Explorer.
Could this have something to do with it being a Fusion drive in Yosemite? I've read some comments that may allude to this (though very sketchy and I don't want to put ideas into your head--I need to know the real reason). I'm 99.9% positive that I had Boot Camp on this computer a few months ago and it read the Macintosh HD just fine, though I could be thinking of my previous (Mid 2010) iMac; I can't be sure.
Please help. This is driving me crazy.
Thanks so much!

exactly same problem with Mac Mini 2014 2.6ghz with Yosemite and bootcamp Win 7
before I had a Mac Mini mid 2011 2.5ghz with Yosemite and bootcamp Win 7, I never had this
I didn't tried but maybe I should check with a previous driver for HFS+

How can I 'see' what my external drive has backed up?

After losing info on my computer, I got a 1 Terabyte for the Mac back-up drive and it seemed to do its thing. Now, how do I see all the things its backed up? I want to make sure my music is there.

Hello again amember.
OK, so you are using Apple's own "Time Machine" for your backups.
You can change the interval at which TimeMachine backs up using the hint at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=200710291721156
Alternatively you might want to try the "donationware" software available at http://www.klieme.com/TimeMachineScheduler.html which fortunately overcomes the need to play around with text editors and plist files directly, though it still seems to need a few bugs sorted out.

Can't see anything in external drive after renaming a folder

Hi all,
I can't see anything on my external drive after renaming a folder. I have the drive set up as a Windows drive with access through the volumes folder (I had to transfer large amount of files from a PC and have it be readable on my MacBook Air); I read a FAQ to set it up a few months ago and it has been working fine since then. I saw the same issue come up with a PC HD on a PC, but the solution was for a PC. I don't see anything else like that in the support community (or if it's there, then I'm not searching for it the right way). There is no partition on the drive and it still shows as having the same amount of data written on the drive as before the accident.
Many thanks in advance!

If you upgrade the your router, it would be the firmware that will be upgraded. For more information regarding upgrading the firmware, try this link.
For your external drive, you might need to map the drive again with a different name.
Hope this helps.

Can't see my USB Hard drive in finder...

I have a 400gb freecom external USB hard drive. It is formatted for mac, and was running fine until today. I can see it in my Volumes folder but it doesnt appear on my desktop or in the sidebar in finder. I can eject it if i click the option button in the finder taskbar when i'm in the volumes folder but apart from that its as though it doesnt exist. any suggestions...

hi... i just tried that and nothing... it just comes up with that no entry kinda icon and wont let me mount it. I can still access all the files but i have to go into my volumes folder to do it.. which makes putting anything on the HD very awkward... it just won't appear in the finder or desktop... any other ideas?

I want to search an external hard drive but when I click on it and do a command F the darn highlight jumps right back to 'home computer'. How can I search the actual external drive?

This is extremely irritating and frustrating. I think someone said to click on the external drive's name and do a command F but that doesn't work.
I also need to know why Apple Mail rules aren't working. I have them set to 'any' the email of the spammer, and 'move to junk on my mac'. It will work on that specific email, but not on others from the same email address as they come in.
But mostly I need to find something in one of two external drives and I need it yesterday.
Thanks.

YAY! That did it.
Thank you so much.
And a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year to you!

USB External Drive issue with 10.5.7

Just as infos : i have experienced a weird issue regarding my external USB Lacie Drive. It has been recognise by 10.5.7 as a SAMSUNG drive. I use this external drive with time Machine for backup. Everything dispite that seems to work, but can't take the risk as i didn't noticed improvement in my system of Logic with the new OS, i have decide to downgrade.

thank you everybody for your replies, but as i said i went back to 10.5.6 and everything works perfectly here. Yes under USB (system profiler) the drive is well recognise by the system, it's only under 10.5.7 that that drive was listing as a SAMSUNG. Anyway, i will give another try to 10.5.7 in few weeks, as i am in a middle of the projet (CD for a local artist), it might be wise i stay under 10.5.6 as it works well on my system.
PS (as i said earlier the drive was working well under 10.5.7 but just listed as a Samsung drive). I am not be the only one ?

My imac starts up but I can't see the internal hard drive

The hard drice appears to have disappeared from the desktop

Have a look in Finder>Preferences>General tab and make sure you have a tick against 'Hard disks'.
