Good evening, I've got a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Windows 7 installed on one HD, and my second HD is an empty one for storing multimedia and games. Both disks are formatted as GPT.
I've noticed a very strange issue that whenever I write files to that second drive while running under Windows 10, I can read those files afterwards in Windows 7 without a problem, but if I write files to the second drive using Windows 7, and try to access them using Windows 10, I don't see the folders. At the very least I see the folder, but Windows 10 tells me it's inaccessbile or corrupted, even after granting myself access permissions (popup window).
But when I formatted the second HD as MBR, this problem dissapeared; both systems can now write and cross-read each others' files just fine, and also that annoying dialog stating I need to grant myself permission to read the files written by the other OS doesn't seem to pop-up anymore.
What is going on here? Anyone got any idea? WIndows 7 runs fine on the primary GPT disk, why would there be conflicts like this when sharing the second GPT drive?
Thanks a lot.
