Boot Camp - Access one partition from the other?
Did I read elsewhere that you can't see the Windows partition from OS X (or did I miss it in Rob's article)? And what about visa versa? If true this is major shortcoming. If you're just running games not a big deal, but if you happen to find something in one OS that you want to move to the other OS, what do you do, mail to yourself?

OS X can see both NTFS and FAT32 volumes (you can install XP on either). However, it can only write to FAT32.

Thanks for the answer. More convenient than emailing, but if you forget to move a file to the external drive first--two more reboots. And don't forget to copy the file you're working on back to it's home folder.
Boot Camp - Access one partition from the other?
I believe when you are running OS X you would be able to see the NTFS partition and read from it, but not write to it. So if you had a file you created in Windows, and then needed to use under OS X you could pull it from the Windows partition and then save it in the OS X partition.
Boot Camp - Access one partition from the other?
While a USB thumbdrive may be a workaround for laptop users, is it possible to create a 3rd partition on the boot drive? OSX>HFS+, XP>NTFS, and a FAT32 partition for tranferring files? |
