How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp? Virtualization software?


Windows cannot read or write Mac OS formatted drives, without a driver so it cannot access any files from it.


If you used Bootcamp, you could install Paragon's HSF+ driver for Windows

OS X cannot natively write to NTFS drives without an extra driver.

Parago also makes one, but there are other options like Tuxera.


If you used Virtualization software such as Parallels or VirtualBox, they offer the option of sharing folders to the virtual machine.
