Dell XPS 8700 running WIN 7 Home, 64bit. External Seagate GoFlex 500Gb drive. Running DD 11, Update 2, Build 11.0.2343.
I partitioned the Seagate drive into two 250Gb volumes; successful. But the new partition does not appear under WIN 7. So I partitioned the "new" partition into a new 100Gb volume.; successful in DD11. When I looked under WIN 7, the new partition (Drive Q) appeared for a moment and then disappeared. There is about 20Gb of data in the second half of the Seagate drive and I can see the files in DD 11. I looked and the drive is not "hidden", either in WIN 7 or DD 11. Anyone have ideas why I can't see this volume under WIN 7? Tnx. Sepp

Do the partitions show correctly in Disk Management? If so, do they just need assigned drive letters?

That turned out to be the case. I clicked on the partition and chose "assign drive letter". Windows sees it now. Tnx
