Another hrad drive ?
Authored by: khaled on Feb 20, '02 03:49:03AM

Hi,

I have another hard drive called 'Software HD' with some folders I want to hide using the .hidden file, what should I write in the file ? I've tried many 'paths' but none worked for me. Any ideas ?

Thanks all

Good question...I also have multiple volumes and am constantly getting the "Temporary Items" folder at the root level of my volumes. I trash the folders but eventually, they come back. How can I hide these folders on other local volumes?

Hey,
What are you tryin to do? make files in the other hard drive invisible? whats the problem? just do what the other guy said. if you need the path to the other hard drive its:

/Volumes/Nameofdisk

i had a hard time figuring out the path too. you can also just drag the folder or drive into the terminal to auto-type the path.
well i hope that helped.
