This trip, both partition show up on the desk top but only partition #2 shows up in the Finder Window (there in the left column)
This is nothing, you can drag and drop the icon of the partition into the Finder sidebar. Also, in Finder Preferences>Sidebar>Show these items in the Sidebar>Devices you can check the box "External Disks" to make certain they're shown.
Partition #1 also does not show up in the StartUp volume Systems Pref window so I cannot boot from it.
Probably the HD isn't formatted as "Apple Partition Scheme"? If you're using this on an Intel Mac, it's likely partitioned as "GUID", and if you never changed that partition format when it was new, it could be "Master Boot Record" which is how most all new HDs ship. You can check the partition scheme in Disk Utility. You might want to run Repair Disk on these volumes just in case?
