Windows Bootcamp can't access OS X partition

I installed Windows 8.1 Pro on Bootcamp partition and install the Bootcamp driver 5.0.5033 and everything work fine.
Today I download the bootcamp driver 5.1.5621 from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents because my Macbook Pro is mid 2012 (because of the "Notes" part in the download page
I install it and now from My Computer window, I can not open the Mac OS partition
When I try to open Local Disk (D:) (it supposes to be Macintosh partition), it said I have to format partition D (of course I didn't do that)
After choose No, I've got this
What I have to do now? I don't want to reinstall windows 8, it takes a lot of time to setup my workspace again
Thank you!

What model Mini?
Is it booting to internet recovery or the recovery partition?

Can't access to Fat Partition - Mount problem

Dear all
A few months ago I used disk utility and perform a partition. The idea was 3 partitions, 1 for mac (Journaled), 1 for bootcamp (NTFS) and 1 for transfer between the OSs (FAT).
And it worked OK, I can use mac when I want and Windows too, I put the files in the fat partition and read/write without any problem in the 2 OSs.
So, the fat partition for a lot of months worked OK, and almost all my files were saved in that partition, but last week I was copying too many gigas to the fat partition and I checked that fat partition was almost full. I thought well, usually mac tells you that is not enough space and you cannot copy more files, but IT DIDN'T DO IT and allow to copy and copy and copy. Well I continued working, later I turn off my computer (no close the lid) and at the next day when I turned on and started in MAC the partition doesn't appear. OMG!!!..... I entered to the disk utility and went to "Fisrt Aid", performed Verify, and Repair and it doesn't work.
It says.... bla bla bla,,, can`t repair, Back Up.... But How to Backup if there is not the option to access to the partition. In windows it says format?,, Of course not!
I tried to contact Mac support (I still have warranty, until April 16), but no solution was given.
I know that information is there, but I don't know how to recover and mount again the partition, because I have not formatted the partition. I have read a lot but before perform any action I would like to consult with you. I don't want to use apps that look for file to file, I just want to open my fat partition, find my organised folders and save the information in other place.
My info:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
MacBook Pro (13, Mid 2012)
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Storage: 1 TB
Fat partition: disk0s4 (Capacity 199.86 GB (199,860,682,752 Bytes))
Please, Can you help me?
Attached an image!!!
Thank you in advance!!!
Note: Sorry if I put in the wrong Category this post.

Hi!!
Well, after reading and trying to find the solution by mac, it was found in Windows.
MMM, well Attached the solution
So, let's to save the information!!!!!!
See You!!!

How deep into a windows directory can Mac access?

Well, after moving, and attempting to move numerous files (from a networked XP laptop, with an externally USB mounted hdd), I've found that there are some files that it will not allow me to move.
I get the same error message-- not having sufficient privileges to move the files.
I'd set my access permissions to allow the users to change the files. Which I'm assuming means they can edit the files, and save an updated version at the source, as well as moving/copying the files.
So, I'm curious about two things.
1- is there a level of "depth into a directory" that Mac cannot access a networked drive through a PC?
2-Are there certain directory sizes that Mac just can't copy from?
well, ok... maybe some more too....
3- the file transfer starts off great, and then after a while it sends me the above referenced error msg stating that I don't have privileges to access the file.
At first I thought maybe the network connection failed, but I can still access the folders in question. Then, I remembered that even windows has a 255 character limit to pathway strings that it can read.
Hence my two initial questions.
any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

While the issue was answered-- it just made my job more frustrating-- I was hoping for a bypass so I'd not have to take so long to deal with it.
The problem was that I'd set so many folder levels that it'd exceeded the 255 or 1024 character limit that XP has.
Thus, my attempts to move entire directories was met with rejection due to the exceeded limits..... argh..... so much for being "smart" on my realizing what a perfect filing cabinet I had at my finger tips-- I am a lousy filer, and can never think of how to file things. The directory structure helped me overcome that "weakness," or so I thought.......

Windows users can't access shared folder - only see Library folder.

I created users folders with the same name as the user's login name. (Note: this is NOT a home folder. I have Home Folders shut off). When the Windows user logs in to access their folder, they don't see their files but instead a folder that says "Library".
When I log in with that user's account on my Mac, I can see the correct contents of their folder, but there is also a folder named "99". I found this "99" folder at the root of the server hard drive but every time I delete it, OS X recreates it again.
I don't understand what's going on.

Hi,
Whether you can able to ping the server when the server share is unresponsive?
Check for the events on the server for a clue. Try disabling the AV program for some time and check whether the problem is repeating.
Regards,
Rafic

Windows installer can't detect boot camp partition

Hello,
I recently bought my first iMac and I am trying to install Windows 8.1 using the Boot Camp Assistant. I have rebooted the Mac into the Windows installer program and made it to the screen titled "Where do you want to install Windows?" However, the Boot Camp partition I thought I created earlier is not showing on the list of available drives. I have tried hitting the Refresh button several times.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

I haven't really kept up lately but the only thing I see missing in your information is you didn't say if you had Formatted the Boot Camp partitiion to NTFS. The last I looked into Boot Camp that was one of the mandatory things you had to do in order for the installer to "see" the partition.
You end up formating it twice.
The original format when you make the Windows partition should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" it's done by the Mac (BootCamp) then when your booted from the Windows installer you then have to format it again with the NTFS format. And of course it has to be on an internal drive. And a full install disk not an upgrade disk. Boot Camp 5?
Take a gander at the instructions again and see if you might have missed a step?
Hope it helped, at least I bumped ya up.......

Windows computers can not access smb-shares in Lion

I have updated von SL to Lion Server. Now, I don't gave Access to my Windows shares from any Windows Computers. If I connect a Windows share u.e. froom Windows 7 Workstation I will see a window with username and password for the share. But the username und password from lion for this share will not work. It was no problem in SL. Any idea?

To get this to work on windows 7 I...:
Start > Computer
Disconnected my mapped netowrk drive that would not connect
Selected the Map network drive button in the toolbar at the top
Typed in the folder location manually (if you try the browse it will fail)
Selected Connect using different credentials
Selected Finish
On the credentials screen that pops up:
User name: <SERVER\username>I found that my server name had to be in capitals (/private/var/log/krb5kdc/kdc.log helps you know exactly what it is)
Password: <your password>
Select Remember my credentials
Select OK
After this i found no issues access any of the shares on the server and everything came back to life

Stuck in Message window. Can't access bottom of window to cancel -

We're stuck in a Message window in Mail because we cannot access the options at the bottom of the Message window. The only buttons accessible are the yellow button and green button at the top - the red and oval button in upper right are grayed out. This is a result of trying to send too many emails at once. We have to force quit mail because of this hanging Message window. This is happening in the new gmail account. Any suggestions welcome - Thanks!

It sounds like you're not in a message window, but the Activity Viewer instead. If so, you should be able to close that window by using Command-0 (command-zero). How many messages are/were you trying to send at once? Are you using the Message Viewer window with an upper- and lower pane to actually read the messages, or do you double-click to open each message in it's own separate window? Try starting Mail while holding down the Shift key and see what happens, and if you're still trying to send messages, do only 2-3 at once.
If you need to Force Quit, a crash log is still generated, which may point to the cause of the problem.

My windows user can not access the lion server.

All Mac user is ok.but all of windows user link fail.

I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

Can you access all of your HD?

Can you access all of your Hard Drive when you got 2 partitions of mac and windows 7?
I was wondering if i could access some files from the mac side of the partition, for instance big files that are used in some programs, because the window partition might be small (40 GB)
I heard you can access every part of the hard drive when boot in mac, but can it be the other way around? i'm not saying to install applications or anything, its just files, for instance doc, or installation files on the mac partition

I agree with The hatter. I like the Paragon HFS drivers for WIndows, and their NTFS Drivers for MacOS. The native drivers in Snow Leopard or Lion give you read only access to NTFS volumes, and the Boot Camp drivers from Apple give our Windows install Read Only access to HFS+ partitions. If you want to be able to access the whole drive from either OS, then I think the Paragon drivers are the answer.
I have a 500GB drive in my MacBook Pro, partitioned 320GB for Lion, and about 175GB for Win7. I keep my Thnderbird email profle stored on my MacOS partition, and no matter which OS I boot I can have full access to my local mail archives.
