OS X Fails to understand partitions changed in Windows
Hello all
So recently, I changed out my original hard drive for a new one, since it seemed like it may have been on its last legs.
First I did the Mac OS X portion, a simple transfer and first partitioning, and added a couple other partitions that I thought i would use.
However, I then switched to windows, and changed the partition mapping around a lot, and reduced the number, changed sizes and locations, before transferring windows over.
HOwever, this quickly became a nightmare. Upon returning to OS X on the newly transferred drive, after removing my old one, OS X and DIsk Utility FAIL to see the new partition mapping which was set under windows. It only sees the one set under OS X before that. Of course, I am not making any changes to files under OS X, and i'm typing this under windows.
Is there a way to get Disk Utility and OS X to see the new windows-made partition mapping, without repartitioning everything? This is a very nasty, inconvenient issue, and I have a feeling it could be dangerous too.
