    I needed Windows 7 to do some network programming for college. It intergraded with using the CMD. Well, I have a MacBookPro4,1. Info below. I used a 32GB partion to install windows 7. Now that I have bootcamp 3 and drivers installed, I notice something that I am affriead will affect with my Mac OS X partion of the drive. I can see the files from windows 7 for the system of Mac OS X on drive (E:). How to a make this drive invisable to windows so no virus or trojens get to it. Thanks

    It's read only access. So no modifications are possible. If it really bothers you there is an Apple KB article on how to disable it. (Related to the XPSP3 install).
