I have Hard drives in all 4 bays of a Macpro. They show in OSX (El capitan) but not in bootcamp (Windows 10).
When in Windows I can only see the bootcamp drive.
I tried HFS explorer but it just said no HFS drives found.
Is this a known issue? I can only find people having problems with external drives or partitions.
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
If you installed the BC drivers which allow read-only access to Apple HFS volumes, see Re: Windows 10 Anniversary + Boot Camp = no longer mounting Mac partition on a method to assign drive letters.
If the specific drivers - AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys - are not installed, then use Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support to find the correct BC5.x driver package and extract the drivers, install them, and then assign drive letters, as appropriate.
Thanks for your reply:

AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys are both installed.
I tried the ext2fsd method and it showed my windows partition, mac partition and recovery partition and then one other drive was listed as 'raw' which I could not mount.
All the other drives mentioned in the list above did not show up.
From macOS Terminal, with all four drives connected, post the output of

P.s. I should have mentioned, El Capitan doesn't support Bootcamp on Mac Pro (Early 2009) so I had to install Windows without it. If that makes a difference.
Were drive letters assigned to all available drives in the Windows Registry?
I'm not sure, I thought the ext2fsd did the same thing as the registry method it was just the 'safe' way to do it.
Where do I look in the registry to see drive letters?
The link I posted earlier has the Registry method.
