    Hi Everyone,

    I am new to the forum, hopefully I have posted at the right place and my topic has not been discussed already. If so, sorry!

    I have difficulties accessing 2 out of 3 partitions through Parallels:

    I am running a Macbook Pro with Lion 10.7.5
    My internal hard drive is split into 3 partitions, all formatted by Disk Utility:
    - 1 for the operating system (Mac Os Extended Journaled)
    - 1 for external data (Mac Os Extended Journaled)
    - 1 for Windows (Exfat)

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate with Parallels 8.

    In Windows 7, I can only access the first partition (were the operating system is installed). Both the external data partition and the Windows partition are nowhere to be found. I should also note that I can very well access my external drive which contains various partitions, (Mac Os Extended and Exfat formats) done on my Mac's Disk Utility.

    I have discussed with Parallels support (really not impressed) and according to them it is not possible to access these partitions... Not sure I believe them though!

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
