Solve : Windows 7 can't find Vista partition??

1.	Solve : Windows 7 can't find Vista partition??
Answer» I dual-booted VISTA and 7. In Vista, the Vista partition appears as C, and the 7 partition is S. In 7, the 7 partition (which is drive S in Vista) appears as drive C, and the Vista partition is missing?? How can I find this partition in 7? Thanks. Go to Drive Management and see if you can see the Vista partition. In Drive Management, be careful not to click anything or TOUCH the partitions. Just see if it's there or not.Mine does not show up either...so far i've yet to find a fix for it. I' reported it but have not recieved any reply.http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t714774.html Quote from: KristopherWindsor on January 13, 2009, 04:23:45 PM I dual-booted Vista and 7.

How can I find this partition in 7? Thanks. it's that way by by design... W7 by default hides access to all other system drives(or partitions) so as to not confuse the end user but you can add a drive letter to that partition in disk management in W7 so you'll be ABLE to see it...

However that partition was imaged with a newer App i was TESTING for drive images...perhaps that has something to do with it. It's getting wiped anyways so no biggie.ahh, the famous rule: When your dome with a computer, don't forget to wipe!Actually the Vista UltimateX64 install is the one i am testing... I'm PURPOSELY letting it run unactivated to see how the cripple features behave. I've lost some Admin priveledges and 3 different notifications are coming at about 7 minute intervals at this point but i can still get online and run most apps.
