Partition falsly recognized as RAW
- by Paul Hiemstra
On my 2 TB data disk I have two primary partitions, one of 1.6 TB for data storage in Linux (ext3) and one of 300 GB for some additional data storage for Windows. I run a dual-boot Windows 7/Ubuntu 12.04 install.
The issue I have that if I start my computer into Windows 7, bot the partitions on my 2TB data drive are not recognized. In stead, Windows 7 sees one 1TB partition with type RAW. However, if I reboot to Linux, and then back to Windows 7, the partitions are correctly recognized.
The following two screenshots illustrate my situation. Before I reboot to linux:
and after the reboot:
I have two questions:
What could cause this behavior?
How can I solve this issue.
