Accessing a secondary partition on a CF card

[phios]

Hi,

I have a CF card with multiple partitions, but when I insert the card into a USB card reader it only shows me the first partition. How can I access the 2nd partition? I can see both partitions in the "Disk Management" screen, but cannot assign a drive letter to the partition that I need access to.

If anyone has any ideas....

Thanks!

You should be able to see and access all partitions using Explorer. This is an excellent article on the whole C/F partitioning process.

I saw this article already. I cannot see the second partition on the card... Like I stated earlier, when I went into the disk management system I saw the partition, but it did not have an associated drive letter attached to it. When I tried to assign it a drive letter, windows stated that it could not enable the partition. Without a drive letter, Explorer will not see the partition.

Thanks!

Is the second partition properly formatted with a filesystem that Windows can understand?

It could be a hidden partition.
