    The same problem, but I installed the program and now works fine. I feel bad that Apple do not consider this problem.

  I did this. My drive shows up in the System Report, but not in the Finder, and Pargon NTSF for Mac, now in System Preferences, lists no drives.

I am getting the same problem now on mac OS Sierra,
I am having seagate 1TB external power hard drive with 2 partitions with following file system
1. OS X Journeled
2 . FAT32
Now suddenly only OSX Journled partiion is getting mounted and I could not see FAT3.
If I run the command "diskutil list" i can see both the volumes but in finder and diskutility only 1st partition is seen,
IS this the os problem? It occured just now.

You could of damaged your drive. That happened to me on an upgrade from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.5) to macOS Sierra (10.12).
