i only see the 32GB drive in vista

[lechon]

i assigned 32gb of my 500gb drive to vista upon setting up boot camp. when i'm in vista, only the 32gb drive is available to me. which means i can't access any files on the macintosh drive. and it also prevents me from installing much applications in vista. is this normal? should the macintosh hard drive also be available to me in vista?? i hope so

Vista can't see mac partition.

Vista can't see mac partition.

woah thats unfortunate. wow much do you usually allocate for the vista partition?

Just install MacDrive...

from what i understand, you can't install programs on the osx drive though, true? ie, i need my windows photoshop and premiere and office installed for vista use.

i don't have access to the mac versions of the said software

As some people said, you can use MacDrive to access the rest of your hard drive from Vista. Using that you probably could install some software on the mac partition, but I wouldn't recommend it. Since you have a 500 GB drive, I suggest you simply make your windows partition bigger (100 GB or so) and install windows tools on it.

When running in Window, correct you can not use the OS X versions of the programs.

yeah, i think that's what i'll do. until adobe updates photoshop to play nice with leopard, i'm stuck with that option. thanks.

that's not what i meant, i wanted to install pc software on the mac partition to be used while in windows. but apparently i can't.
