Boot Camp - Windows 7

sludeking · 10-14-2009, 01:38 PM

Hey.

I've installed windows 7 on a boot camp partition on my macbook pro. Everything is running smooth although there is one thing I'd like to know if it's possible to do.

When you run windows through vmware fusion 2 you get a shortcut to your user folder on your mac hd (folder with you pics, documents, downloads, music, movies, etc).

Is it possible on a boot camp partition to have this same feature, or am I forced to place it onto a flash-drive and then reboot into snow leopard??

Regards,
Simon

You'll have to place files on a flash drive. It works under Fusion because you are running the Mac OS, which can read Mac formatted volumes. Windows can not read Mac formatted volumes, which is why the Mac hard drive doesn't even show up when you are booted into Windows. Yes, it is a great pain.
