[Solved] Can't see GPT disk partitions in Windows 7 (64-bit)

I just added 2 new disks and had them set up equally with GPT and equal partitions, to use the partitions as RAID1 in Arch, and the rest of the storage for Windows. It works as expected in Linux (I guess), but Windows shows them as uninitialized.
Can this be due to the fact that I created the GPT and partitions using fdisk? Caus' gdisk can't see any partitions either when I start it. If so, is there any way to convert it or do I need to redo everything?
The output of "fdisk -l" shows this:
Disk /dev/sdc: 1.8 TiB
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes

Added a Windows partition now. Still the same.
In Windows it looks like this:

  • I can't see the Mac partition (and I can't install Mac Os X!)

    Well, I installed Windows XP, I used MacDrive, etc. Suddenly it appeared a blue screen (in XP) and now I can't see the Mac partition, even pressing Alt while booting. Also I can't reinstall Mac Os X because the Mac partition doesn't appear in the install's menu or in the disk utilities (in the disk utilities it gets freezed when I try to enter to it, so I can't manage or restore the hard drive)
    Help!

    Hi, Ralph,
    The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows.

  • Can't see USB disk attached to other mac

    I have an Airport Express, on the network is a Mac Mini which has an USB disk attached to it (to the Mac Mini).
    However, I can't see the disk from any other mac that uses the Airport (this used to work)
    I've looked for "disk sharing" in Preferences and in the Airport Setup Utility, but couldn't find anything.
    I've also made the Sharing & Permissions of the USB disk for "Me" and "Everyone" as " Read & Write"
    Any idea how I can resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Awfers

    Ok, thanks for clarifying. You don't need to change any settings within the AirPort Utility, but let's double-check your Mac Mini's settings to make sure that it is both sharing the disk properly and that it's OS X firewall is not blocking the requests.
    For File Sharing: System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing
    o Make sure that the folders on your external hard drive, that you want shared, are selected in the Shared Folders window.
    o Make sure that you have, at least, Everyone = Read Only set in the Users window.
    o Select Options..., and then, verify that you have "Share files and folders using AFP" is enabled for Mac clients, and "Share files and folders using SMB" is enabled for Windows clients.
    For the OS X Firewall: System Preferences > Security > Firewall
    o If "Allow all incoming connections" is enabled, verify that: "File Sharing (AFP, SMB)" is now displayed in the list.

  • [SOLVED] Wiki page for GPT disks and booting arch using UEFI

    Hi guys, I am new to archlinux. I installed archlinux x86_64 just yesterday and I like its customisability. I also like arch wiki. Nowhere else have I seen such extensive documentation, especially about things like HAL, UDEV etc. with proper instructions. Thanks to all archers.
    I have installed Archlinux x86_64 in my Dell India Studio 1537 laptop along with Windows 7 Professional x64. Both the OSes boot in UEFI-GPT setup (my UEFI is tianocore.sourceforge.net EDK DUET UEFI64 firmware booting from USB). I boot Archlinux using my own compiled grub2-bzr compiled for both BIOS and UEFI-x64. I have a 1 MB BIOS Boot Partition as required by grub2 for BIOS-GPT booting. My Archlinux system can boot both from bios and from uefi, while Windows can boot only using UEFI.
    The official Archlinux installation guide talks about only MBR (or msdos disklabel) partitions and booting from BIOS based systems. With 2TB drives becoming common place and UEFI being implemented (search for Phoenix SecureCore Tiano's 1 second POST operation), I think a proper wiki page describing differences between MBR and GPT, why GPT is better, how to setup arch to boot from GPT. Another page describing steps to setup arch to boot from UEFI (either as a separate page or as an extension of GRUB2 wiki page) is also needed.
    Some details regarding Pure GPT (not a Hybrid GPT/MBR setup) and/or UEFI setups :-
    Partitioning tools -
    GNU Parted for filesystem related tasks
    GPT fdisk tool - http://rodsbooks.com/gdisk/ , http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ ,  pacman -S gdisk (in extra repo) - for non-filesystem related tasks
    util-linux-ng fdisk does not support GPT disks
    Bootloader - GRUB2 - vanilla grub-legacy does not support GPT and does not support UEFI (Fedora's patched grub-legacy does support both GPT and UEFI) and syslinux does not support GPT (I may be wrong here - seems a gptmbr of syslinux does help in booting from gpt but not sure).
    For GRUB2 - Need BIOS Boot Partition to embed GRUB2's core.img in GPT disks - size about 1 MB max - no filesystem
    In GPT fdisk partition type code - EF02
    In GNU Parted or GParted - bios_grub flag on
    For UEFI-GPT booting this special partition is not needed as no embedding takes place. This is needed only in case of BIOS-GPT booting.
    Incase of custom kernel configuration - enable CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION for GPT support
                                                                        CONFIG_EFI for UEFI support (for UEFI even above option required)
                                                                        CONFIG_EFI_VARS for UEFI Runtime Variables support (optional)
    Note: Although GPT is part of UEFI specification, a UEFI system is not needed to boot from/use GPT. BIOS based GPT booting is possible with GRUB2 or Fedora's patched grub-legacy (but not vanilla grub-legacy provided by archlinux). It is also possible to boot Linux in UEFI-MBR setup (again using grub2) but I have not tried it.
    Even without UEFI and less than 2TB harddrives, GPT based partitioning has many advantages - secondary GPT header and Partition table, CRC32 checksums. Unique Disk GUID and Filesystem-independent Unique Partition GUIDs, multiple primary partitions (default is 128 partitions, but it can be changed). The only problamatic OS is Windows which does not allow GPT booing unless one has UEFI based system. It allows only UEFI-GPT or BIOS-MBR setups. In linux it just depends on how the bootloader is configured - not a problem with grub2.
    I also propose that incase of Auto-prepare Hard Drive, the installer default to GPT for "archlinux only" installs ( ie no dual-boot or triple-boot etc.).
    I did not use the official archlinux iso but used archboot 2010.04 R3 as it gave an option of installing to GPT and also provided GRUB2 during bootloader install. I have never edited any wiki page before, thats why I request some one else to start a wiki page with the information given above.
    I don't know whether this is the right place, but any Windows (Vista or 7 x64 versions) and Linux dual-boot user who has UEFI-based system with GPT partitioning and wants to get rid of Hybrid MBR setup (to boot Windows) can follow this post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofive … hp/t186440 (outside this forum) - this link describes the way to make Windows boot natively in UEFI-GPT setup. After doing this one can install arch using GRUB2 compiled for UEFI x86_64, and Windows will also see

    Welcome to arch, skodabenz! Offering documentation on third post - all thumbs up
    You could start the wiki page in your user-space with what you have, and then invite others to join working on it. Just register a wiki account, navigate to the page you want to start, for example:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:skodabenz/GPT
    and click on "edit this page".
    As noted in the other thread, arch's legacy grub is patched for gpt support. I don't know about UEFI, but you can always open a bug report asking for the patches from fedora to be included.
    edit: the page from Rod Smith is a great resource. I was absolutely terrified at first by all this screwed up GPT/MBR stuff when I tried triple-booting Arch, Win and OS x, but he really does a great job explaining what it is all about.

  • Can't see hard disk folders

    I have an airport extreme hooked to a cable modem. I have a Seagate 160 gig hard disk attached to the airport extreme. My Mac Book Pro can see the hard disk and all its folders, but my PC that is wired with an ethernet cord cannot see the folders on the hard disk. It sees the drive as a Z drive but no folders show up. My husbands Sony Vaio laptop only sees the hard disk and not the folders either.
    Any suggestions????

    Is there a way to just convert file or even partition of the half I have left?
    Safely? No. You'll have to find another place to transfer the data to.
    And last is the best format not HFS+?
    It is... if you have a Mac. If you are only in Windows, you may at some point want to disconnect the USB HDD from the Extreme and connect it directly to your PC. Native Windows can read a FAT/FAT32 drive, but not an HFS+. However, you can pick up MacDrive which allows a Windows machine to read an HFS+ drive. Your choice.

  • Emergency! Partition permission error! can't see the whole partition!

    GUYS, ! Need your help!
    The HD inside my MBP has 2 partitions. system & work
    Somehow, I can't see partition Work in the Finder. I tried repair it in the disk utility. However, partition Work appears to be grey, and I can't verify nor repair the permission.
    I also tried booting MBP with the Tiger restore disk. I met the same situation and No success at all.
    Can anyone help me this out? Thanks in advance.

    It could be that the partition has had the invisible bit set. See this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=865694&tstart=0
    If you can still navigate to stuff on the partition it is likely that is the problem.

  • Windows 7 can't see USB disk (WD Passport) on Airport Extreme

    I am needing some help. I just bought an Airport Extreme and everything is working but I can't see my files on the USB external drive from the Airport Extreme. I can see the drive inside of the Airport Utility but not over the network on my laptop.
    My laptop is Windows 7.
    I read somewhere that I may need to reformat my WD Passport but how do I do that in windows 7 and will I lose my files on the drive if I do this?
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me!

    There are a number of posts related to issues between Windows 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
    To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    o From the Vista desktop, click Start
    o Search for: security
    o Click 'Local Security Policy'
    o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    o Click OK
    To disable Windows Search:
    o Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    o On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    o Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    o Press OK, close all windows and restart.
    A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name.
    On the AEBS, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab.
    On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

  • How can I see the disk in airport extreme

    Hello
    I have an airport extreme, I downloaded the Airport Utility, I connected the printer and everyting is fine, I can access the printer from other computers at home. Then I unplugged the printer and connected an USB disk (working of course), and everything is fine, Airport Utility detected it. However, I dont know how can I access the disk from the computers. I have all windows 7 computers at home, but now way to see the disk. What I am doing wrong
    thank your

    I don't use this setting, so can't offer much assistance, but do know that your computer is exposed to the Internet, so it will receive all inbound traffic.
    Normally, a typical use of Default Host would be to setup a game console to allow online gaming when NAT settings otherwise would not allow communications to occur.

  • Computers can't see the disk connected to my Aiport Extreme

    Hi everyone,
    I have an Airport Extreme with version 7.3.2 and I just attached a Western Digital external hard drive to the usb port in the back of the router; however, none of my computers can see the disk in the network screen nor the airport router itself. Does anyone know how I can fix this so that I can share the disk with all of my computers?
    This is how my network is set up:
    I have six computers connected to a Linksys WRT310N wireless router (some with ethernet cables, others wireless). Then, I have the Airport Extreme, in bridge mode, connected to the Linksys router by an ethernet cable. And the external disk is attached to the Airport Extreme.
    It sounds complicated, but I talked to an Apple "Genius" a while back and he told me that only Mac computers are able to see the disk through the Time Machine program. That hardly seems right or fair to me.
    Thanks for your help!

    On July 15, 2008 someone posted this: "On my air port extreme I have a 160 Gb hard drive connected to the usb. And suddenly it cant find it on my desktop. But when I go to my lap top it finds it just like that. Im runnin the airport 10/100 ethernet to my desktop and 802.11 n/g on my lap top. I tried resetting..."
    This is identical to my problem, the hard disk that is connected to the Airport Extreme shows up on the old iBook but not on the MacBook Pro. Both are running OS 10.4.11. It worked fine when it was connected directly to the MacBook Pro and contains the same files it held then.
    Can anyone answer this problem?

  • Can't see LaCie disk on any other computer except one

    Okay, here's one I can't figure out. Maybe someone else can.
    I just purchased an Airport Extreme and everything works as it should. However, when I plugged my LaCie Drive in the USB slot, in the Extreme, I find it shows up on my MacBook Pro desktop, but I can't see it on my daughter's iBook G4, my G4 desktop, or my wife's PowerBook G4. If I scan the Extreme config from any of the computers, it shows me the LaCie disk connected, but if I use the Airport Disk Utility, I only see it on my MacBook Pro. The utility shows nothing on the other computers.
    Why is it showing up on one computer and not the others? Is it because my MacBook is Intel and the others are not, or am I just not configuring things correctly on the other computers?
    Thanks, in advance, for any help on this

    Ok, thanks for clarifying. You don't need to change any settings within the AirPort Utility, but let's double-check your Mac Mini's settings to make sure that it is both sharing the disk properly and that it's OS X firewall is not blocking the requests.
