    Dual Boot Partition


    I have dual booted my PC so I have windows 8 and windows 7. When I am on Windows 8 I can see my Windows 7 Partition listed in Computer and I can access it and all the files. But when I am in Windows 7 I can't see the Windows 8 Partition. Sometimes I need to access the other to get certain things.

    Can anyone help me with this?

    For everyone else who as a problem similar to this or you have a drive not showing up. Open the disk manager and assign the drive a letter.
