So, I have windows 8 and mavericks both installed on separate ssds, along with a 2tb drive for extra storage.

The storage drive was formatted for mavericks, but I was able to recognized and interact with it in windows 8 using paragon hfs+. However earlier I tried to partition the drive to create a small 64 gb partition to later install ubuntu on.

So on mavericks I created two partitions, one mac os extended (journaled), and one small exFAT partition. Now when in windows, the exFat drive doesnt show up at all and storage one (which was I named storage both before and after the partition) is showing as the same as it was before the partition (i.e. 200gb used of 1.8) and when I click it I get an error...

Location is not available
F:\ is not accessible
The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

Both drives and visible and working under mavericks, but not windows. Not sure of how to proceed as I am fairly new to hackintosh.

I would like to either get windows the recognize the drives properly, or at worst, revert back to the non-partitioned but recognized under windows drive.

Thanks for any help.

Windows 8 does not like partitions created with OS X disk utility.
Launch Disk utility, delete the ExFatpartition, extend the larger partition to take in the space of the deleted partition.
Boot Windows, then use Windows disk management tool to shrink the main partition and create the new partition and format it.
Then you can use the disk management tool in the Ubuntu installer to repartition/format the new partition.
Remember to select "Something Else" on the Ubuntu installer page and then select your Ubuntu root directory to install Grub bootloader.
