Win 7 Pro 64-Bit is unable to see my 3TB hard drive partitions
I have a 3TB hard drive on which I created three logical partitions and no primary partition at all. This was done in Windows XP. I am able to see the partitions in Windows XP and access them perfectly. But when I mount the drive on a Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit system that I recently created, Windows 7 is unable to see the partitions - they are seen as unallocated space in Disk Management. Also, the drive does not show up in Windows Explorer.
I'm guessing that the reason for this is because I don't have a primary partition on the drive. So I would like to try changing the first logical partition to primary using MiniTool Partition Wizard. Is my guess correct? And is it safe to change a logical partition to primary and I will NOT lose any data on it?
Thanks in advance for your much appreciated help!
