I have installed Mac OS X in my MacBook Pro. I have installed Windows 7 on the same machine but by creating a separate partition.
Is there any way I can access files (like mp3 files or photos, etc.) of my Windows partition in Mac OS X and vice versa?
The output of diskutil list
command:

and the Windows partitions are formatted using NTFS. You can see these here:
1When you open your Macintosh HD in Finder, can't you see the Windows partition there? – slhck – 2011-08-15T13:32:21.420
no, I can't ... – Safran Ali – 2011-08-15T13:38:21.617
Make sure your Finder preferences are set so that you can see hard drives as well... just in case. Enter Disk utility and check if the windows disk is there. – Vervious – 2011-08-15T15:57:47.243
@slhck ... sorry it is showing the Bootcamp partition but initially bootcamp has single partition which I divided into 2 after installing windows, using disk management ... so now it's only showing the partition where windows is installed and not showing the second partition i created ... – Safran Ali – 2011-08-16T10:28:40.750
i have edited the question with the output you asked for ... – Safran Ali – 2011-08-16T14:24:16.667
When you enter
open /Volumes/BOOTCAMP
, what happens? – slhck – 2011-08-16T15:06:08.083as I said I can see the partition which has windows in that, but the second partition I created after installing windows is not available or viewable – Safran Ali – 2011-08-16T15:08:12.803
Hmm. From the partition table
diskutil
has, there is only one Windows partition. If you sum up the GBs, you get to 320. Where should there be another partition? How does it look like in Windows exactly? (btw. please mention me with @slhck otherwise I don't get a notification) – slhck – 2011-08-16T15:26:57.457@slhck now you can see the partition info in the picture I added in the question, the logical drive partition named B is not visible in Mac OSX – Safran Ali – 2011-08-17T04:07:01.060
