I am installing Windows 7 32bit on a Macbook Pro 13' 2010 model (2.4Ghz) (250GB HDD).
I have a system partition (C:\ 20GB) and media partition (D:\ 156GB). The latter is not visible in the windows explorer (refer to the attachment) but is accessible by typing 'D:\' on the address field. It is also visible in the disk management.

Anyone has the same problem or has a solution??
Thanks.:D

The following report states exFAT as Mobile Personal Storage

exFAT File System

It could be treating the drive almost like a USB/Removable storage

Tried to enable hidden drives but does seem to help and I discovered one thing: when i change the disk letter from D to something else, the partition immediately shows up in the windows explorer but then when i revert that and partition goes missing again..
