Hello. I've been looking everywhere for information about this and haven't found it, so I hope you can help me.
I've just installed Windows 7 on my MacBook using boot camp. My issue is that Windows won't access my USB external hard drive, which is where I keep all of my music and movies. I know that Windows and OS X use different file formats, but I was under the impression that one of the drivers Boot Camp installs allows Windows to read Mac files, which seems to be the case since I can access all of my files that are stored on the Macintosh HD partition from the Windows partition.
Windows detects the hard drive as a USB device and even seems to know it's a hard drive. It just won't assign it a drive letter and allow me to access the files. Is there any way to force Windows to recognize it, or am I out of luck?
Thanks for your help.
