If the problem is you can't see the NTFS partition, it is most likely, it has no drive letter. click computer just to highlight it, right click it and select manage, in the left column select disk management. See if you see that drive in the lower portion, if you do, Right click that partition, select 'change drive letter or part, click add on the next screen, and give it any drive letter you want from the drop down box. Click OK and exit. You should be able to see your partition in explorer now and use it.
If, when you go to disk management it shows as raw, right click it, select new simple partition and follow the guide. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built- Always under construction OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64/ linux in VM CPU Intel i7-3770K Motherboard Asus Maximus V Extreme Z77 Memory 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3-2400 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500 PSU CORSAIR AX850 Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Custom Water Cooling Hard Drives Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 830 256GB, Samsung HD103SJ 1TB .
