Good evening!
This is the first time I've got a job in Windows platform, I've worked as DBA with Unix/Linux still now.
I received one command: Install Oracle 11gR2 on Windows 7 Enterprise, so that, I plan to create one Partition (really, not mounted, this is Unallocated partition by Partition Magic 3rd software) which will contain datafile in it.
And, when I install 11gR2 Grid, the step ASM creation did not recorgnize the Unallocated Partition I created.
May you guide me to complete this?
Thank you!

What did you tell Grid Infratructure to use as a discovery string? If you gave the partition a drive letter (for example, D) then you can specify it as
\\.\D:
otherwise, try this discovery string:
\\.\*
which will discover all your partitions with and without drive letters (including C:, better not try to use it). I haven't worked on Windows 7, but that is how I've done it on earlier versions.
Please feed back on this, I'ld like to know how (if) it works.

Thank you for your reply!
I said to ASM's discovery feature, and, the discovery pointed me to the
'\Device\Harddisk0\Partition 0';
'\Device\Harddisk0\Partition 1';
'\Device\Harddisk0\Partition 2';
'\Device\Harddisk0\Partition 3';
In which, Partition 0 is boot loader, 1 is C driver, 2 is D driver and 3 is E driver. I knew exactly because of the size of each Partition. The unallocated partition was 50gb, and remain were bigger than 50g (C is 120gb, D is 100gb and E is 120gb).
I did not know why the discovery feature did not recorgnize the Unallocated Partition?
Thank you!
