Partition created with paragon on External drive:invisible

Hello!
Purchased an external USb drive 596GB.Fat32 .
I created with “Paragon” a Primary partition Of ntfs,
Immediately after The fat32 partition
leaving 70GB Of Fat32 and creating 524gb Of NTFS.
result:
Windows SEES JUST 70gb OF Fat32,and don’t see ntfs (3.01) partition ..WHAT’s WRONG?
Paragon instead still see the second created partition.
I use Windows Xp sp1 ,and i left 70gb fat32 so i can plug The USB external drive also To DvD-player and so ON..
Please ..NInJ-Help..i dunno why Winz does’nt see Ntfs.
With Paragon .only thing i did’nt assegn a letter to the partition,but i did read is Ok also not assingning letter and letting windows assigning
Answer #1
Some Partition Tools stupidly hide a partition once you created it…Try to run again and see if you can unhide the partition…or even better use Acronis Disk Director Suite insted…
Answer #2
Thanks .a guy told me Isimply CAN’t CEATE 2 PRIMARY PARTITIONS,evenif with different filesystems ,on the sameHD ,
because one GEt HIDDEN automatically.
IS IT TRUE?
I should create Extended Instead,but PARAGON LEAVES JUST 2 options:
Primary AnD LOGICAL , not extended ..Maybe i did’nt find the voice Extended as i don’t know the program?
Gotta run to work,hope Someone could help me to sortOut ..THANKS IN ADVANCE I’m Breathless ..GRRR
Answer #3
The first partition should be primary…the rest Should be logical…You don’t need no more than 1 primary partition for each drive…
Answer #4
Yep You are right-
But As I know ,it should be 1 primary..than EXtended and in the”extended” you create the logicals.
Paragon does’nt give me the voice “extended” as avaialable to do .
It sees my other extended (system drives internal),but i did’nt find the voice “make extended partition”
…Or he does automatically?
Because i want to partition in 2 Logical ntfs (1 ntfs for data,the other for Samples-music) ,so 1fat +2ntfs
Answer #5
Ok i ‘ve done an extended partition (finally).
But still Windows does’nt see damn ntfs.
It see just the Fat32.
It’s because USB has some limitation In That?
Answer #6
Ok Looks I GOT..IT WAS MY FIRST QUESTION /DOUBT
YOU MUST assing a drive letter ,otherwise Windows does’nt see THE USB partitions,
That IS.
Cheers and BYE.
Answer #7
…Give Acronis Disk Director Suite a go…You never go back…
No idea what the above post is all about…
Answer #8
I simply said that ,ON a USB EXTERNAL drive, if You create more partitions, and Primary has a different filesystem than extended,
without forcing a letter assignement Windows DOES’NT see.
So windows does’nt assign automatically The letters ,but you have to force .
And to avoid Possible conflicts with Future card readers /usb pendrive and soon (some of them could “claim” the same letter and cause conflict in future) Is better to hoose uncommon Leeters (Z,Y whatever).
I just made the mistake toTrust WindowsIN that lol.
Thanks for the suggestion on ACRONIS,
sure i will check it out Next Time!!
Take care and to the next
