Accessing XP and OS X files

Windows won't recgonize the OS X drive.It won't even show up..

 

not without macdrive.

been using it in the previous xp onmac solution and it worked like a charm.

 

Actually I think you can format as NTFS but you can only Read from the Windows XP partition. Basically, you can't edit files or delete them.

Using FAT32 lets you do everything but I think there's a cap on how big your partition can be (32GB I think).

 

Pardon while I reveal my ignorance regarding the crossover compatibility, since I haven't attempted any sharing between platforms, but wouldn't a 2Gig flashdrive, or the like, provide a recognized shared space for both OS's?

I made a 50GB partition for XP using FAT32

[edit] edit that..It's NTFS [/edit]

 

Yes, that would work well. Just format the drive in Windows XP and you're set. It's also handy to have you're files with you so double bonus!

 

yes, i do it all the time. icon previews even work, from xp of my mac partition.


though i am hesitant to do some things, like use picassa across partitions. though i'll probably try it though...


picassa is google's iphoto type thingie. it doesn't keep a library as much as iphoto does, it just keeps refrences.

There is also a 4GB cap PER FILE in FAT so no DVD images for anyone!

 

theres no point just burn cds
