How can I see the rest of my Mac Pro from Boot Camp?

[akadmon]

In 3 years of owning my Mac Pro I've never run Boot Camp before, so please excuse my ignorance.

Is there a way to see the rest of my MP from within Windows 7 on Boot Camp? I know MacDrive 8 does it (running a trial right now - it works), but I'm refusing to pay Mediafour $50 after handing them $20 earlier today to upgrade my MD 6 license. Apperenly they only give the upgrade price on a single license, and anything above that is $50 a pop

The newest boot camp drivers (the ones that ship with Snow Leopard) have a feature like MacDrive, but unfortunately it's read only at this point.

Basically you can see all of your hard drive partitions but you can't write to the Mac ones.

I'm running 10.6.1 and the Boot Camp automated driver update fails under Windows 7. Can I install a specific driver manually?

I think it's because you have the mac pro classic. there may be a workaround. wait for gugucom to respond!

Bootcamp 3.0 is on the Snow Leopard disk when you open it with Windows Explorer. If you do a full 32-bit install with setup.exe or 64-bit with Bootcamp/drivers/Apple/Bootcamp64.msi you will get a read only HFS driver installed. The driver file is under windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys It sometimes gives trouble with blu screens. You can switch it off by renaming it. This should work for all Intel Macs. In Seven you have to right klick the file before and make it compatible because it was written for Vista. If there are problems with installation disable user account control, re boot and try again.
