[Help] How to see MAC OSX Drives/Partition in Vista ?

gajanan · 22nd November 2007, 22:13

I have leopard installed and used bootcamp to install vista. Funny thing, My laptop that "supports" vista runs slower and shows a score of 2.5 where as the imac shows a score of 5. Wow, wonder what would billy boy would have gone through if he came to know this lol.

Anyways, i installed the bootcamp drivers on vista and EVERYTHING works except isight, and i dont know how to get that working so hope to get some help on that too. But the thing is after i installed the bootcamp drivers on vista i could see my windows drive/partition on leopard with all its contents and folders etc. Now is there a way where i could see the contents of my mac drives too on vista ? A program that could see mac os x extended (journaled) drive contents in windows or something ?

Many a times i get mails and attachments regarding asp .net that i have to work on the windows platform (unless windows decides to make visual studio for mac). So continuously shifting back and forth from a mac to pc is kinda annoying. Hence i need a solution to see my mac drives in vista.

Thanks in advance, regards.

You can give MacDrive from Mediafour a try. I have been using this application for a while to access my mac drives from within vista and have had no problems.

Awsome-o ! Thanks. Will give this a try. But just out of curiosity isnt there a built-in work around for this ? Do we HAVE to use programs on windows to serve this purpose ?
