Accessing Windows Bootcamp Partition from Leopard

Hello,
I've got my Macbook partitioned into 2 partitions, and I want to be able to access the Windows Vista one from my Leopard installation. I know It doesn't work the other way due to file systems etc. but I have stuff I need to get from one to the other and I don't have time to sit there with a USB drive and reboot every time I need to move stuff over.
Thanks in advance.

If you change your Window partition to FAT32 you will be able to read and write from Leopard.
Vista only runs on NTFS, which is natively read only since about 10.3.5.
to enable write, try this compiled & packaged version of NTFS-3g

  • I guess I didn't explaine that I have a healthy operating Windows 8 Boot camp partition on my hard drive. When I upgraded to Mavericks I am no long able to access the bootcamp partition from the disk icon in system preferences; the Windows 8 works fine.

    On both Mini Mac and iMac 27" I am no longer able to utalize the Startup Disk icon in System Preferences; the Windows 8 on Bootcamp partition works fine if I close the Mavericks OX and select the Windows partition at bootup from the hard drive. My question is why don't the icon in System Prederences work anymore since I upgraded to Mavericks. Also, Users & Groups, Printers & Scanners icons no longer work either.

  • Factory reset of a Windows (Bootcamp) partition

    Hi,
    I just recently did a system recovery of my Mac OS X partition and imported only the User files because the system files had somehow become corrupted. I would like to do the same thing for my Bootcamp partition, but I am not sure of what program to use to erase the Bootcamp partition that would also allow me to access the Windows 7 recovery file. Do I use disk utility via the Mac partition or do I use the system configuration via the Windows 7 partition? I don't want to do a full backup and restore, but I want to do a partial one where I can get only the files that I really need back on.
    Thanks for your help,
    Stephen

    If you erased and installed the MacintoshHD partition and restored that new and just your files, then you should be able to option/alt key boot into the Windows BootCamp partition like before which then you can backup files out of that to a external drive, then boot back into OS X and use the BootCamp Utiliy to remove the BootCamp Partition and start all over again with a fresh Windows install.
    There is System Restore in Windows, type System Restore in the Windows Start Menu to go to it, it allows you to restore your Windows and installed Apps back to a earlier state, but keeps your files intact.
    Then you Windows Update and check all your third party software and browser plugins for updates.
    Then you update your anti-virus definitions and run a scan on the drive to detect malware on your users files and delete, restore those from backup.
    There is the rare malware that really hoses a Windows machine so even System Restore doesn't work, but your supposed to use WinClone 3 in OS x to backup the BootCamp partition so it can be restored from OS X.
    So that's your options.

  • Methods for backing up/cloning Bootcamp partition from inside OSX

    The key here is from inside OS X, not from inside Windows (XP).
    The only reason in the world I have to run Windows is because a Mac version of my accounting system doesn't exist. Well, there is also the fact that some companies still develop portions of their partner websites around IE instead of around open standards cough*CISCO*cough.
    Anyway, I have a bootcamp partition and the data on it is very important (accounting system!). I run it once, maybe twice a month and it's already slow enough as Kaspersky AV runs on every bootup so I don't want to add anything to the Windows bootup. I'm looking for a method of backing up (incremental capable) or cloning (incremental capable) my Bootcamp partition from inside OS X in conjunction with the other backups I do - well, now I use Time Machine so "the other backups I do" is moot, until I backup my Time Machine partition too (been bitten by the "backups not being there when you need them for some really random, unexpected reason" bug too before).
    It seems that most of the cloning tools I've tried can't clone or even backup FAT partitions. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions or previous experiences they wouldn't mind sharing?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, functional but not exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info though -
    - Is there a tool around that can do incremental backups instead of full backups every time it's run? WinClone 1.6b doesn't seem to be able to do incremental backups.
    - Is there a tool around that fits the above requirement, but can be scheduled (or even automator'd)? Automation is a good thing The more maintenance tasks we (users) have to do manually, the more there is to forget to do.

  • Clone Bootcamp Partition from one Mac to another

    All, I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Core-2-Duo. I would like to transfer the Bootcamp partition from my previous Core-Duo MacBook Pro to the new machine. How do I do this?
    I noticed that the Apple Migration Assistant offered to copy the BootCamp volume, but I was unsure if this would simply be a folder on the HD rather than a separate Win XP bootable partition. Any thoughts? Thanks

    OK. Here is what happened. I have a Core-Duo MacBook Pro (machine #1) and a new Core-2-Duo MBP (machine #2). Both are running MacOS 10.5.1. I wanted to move my WinXP Bootcamp Partition (BCP), which is NTFS not FAT-32 as I stated previously, from the old machine to the new one. I am also running VMWare Fusion on #1.
    WinClone worked fine at creating an Image file in my Documents folder on the same drive. I then burned the .winclone image to DVD and then ran WinClone on #2 and Restored WinXP to the BCP on #2. Reboot into Bootcamp.
    Issues:
    1. Upon booting into WinXP, I would get to a screen where Windows said that needed to re-authorize WIndows. However, the mouse, trackpad and keyboard would not respond so I couldn't get past this dialogue. I tried rebooting several times, same result. I then inserted my MacOS 10.5 install DVD and I was able to get past this dialogue. Not sure if this was coincidence, but it worked.
    2. Had to reinstall Apple Drivers from MacOS 10.5 Install DVD. Bootcamp now worked.
    3. Booted back in to MacOS and launched VMWare Fusion. Got dialogue stating;
    "Cannot open disk '....../Boot Camp partition.vmdk' .....Reason: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk from the virtual machine, then add it again."
    Not sure how to do this. Any help? VMWare's site was not helpful. Thanks.

  • Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7

    Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7. in my PC i m installed windows8 and used primary and secondary IP. Primary is used for Access my Domain/Internet and secondary IP is used for access my VPN and
    there is no internet on VPN. VPN is only used for my Head Office Appication. After i give secondary IP to my windos8/windos7 PC the Active network status changed to private network and not able to acces windows XP machines. Please Advice...

    Hi,
    This error means that the Network path was not found. Was Windows XP locating in the same network as the secondary IP on Windows 8/7?
    Please try the solution below.  Use the IP address of the target computer, not the computer name.
    1) Find out what the target computer's IP address is.  It is desirable to give the target computer a static private IP address, for example, 192.168.1.10, so it does not change.  Use the local windows help when sitting in front of the target computer
    to do this if you don't know how.
    2) When sitting in front of the Windows 7 computer you want to access the target computer from, open Windows Explorer and in the address bar type \\ followed by the target computer's static address, for example,\\192.168.1.10 and hit enter.
    If the target computer uses username/password sharing, after a few seconds you will be prompted for credentials.  Enter the same username and password employed to log on to the target computer when you are sitting in front of it.
    The target computer will be added to the Windows 7 computer's Network list, appearing as an IP address instead of a computer name.  Then you can access its shares just as if it were listed by name instead of by number.

  • Will reinstalling OS X Tiger remove my windows bootcamp partition?

    The header is all I want to know guys, im reinstalling OS X due to some probs with CrossOver and I just wanted to know what will happen to my windows bootcamp partition.
    Thanks in advance.
    - Jason

    When you go to reinstall OS X, it will pull up the HD and ask you where to install it and you get to choose the partition. It will leave the Windows partition alone.
    Now, if you choose to do a complete erase and install and instruct Disk Utility to erase the hard drive and remove all partitions - it will do just that.

  • Cannot access Mac OS Partition from windows 8 running in boot camp

    So I installed Windows 8.1 Pro through Boot Camp but I can't access the Mac OS partition from windows even though boot camp partition shows up while I'm on Mac OS. I have installed all the drivers from apple but still it didn't work. Then I downloaded Paragon HFS+ which was free for windows 8 and 8.1 thinking that this would solve my problem. The instructions told me to change the drive letter for mac partition from disk management by right clicking the drive pressing "change drive letter and path" button. But the "change drive letter and path" key in grey color and I can't press it. Can somebody please help?

  • Can I install Windows 8.1 as Bootcamp partition from OSX Mountain Lion using a USB stick?

    I have the following:
    Bootable USB stick with Windows 8.1 - 64 bit
    MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 - it's probably 3-4 years old.
    The Bootcamp partition currently has Windows 7 installed.
    I want to know whether I can install Windows 8.1 from a USB stick into a Bootcamp partition. Apple's article on the topic refers to Bootcamp 5.1, but my OSX install has Bootcamp 5.0 - I am assuming 5.1 comes with the Mavericks version.  I don't want to upgrade to Mavericks because I am running out of space as it is on the OSX partition.
    Thus my question. So can I?

    Your laptop has a DVD drive, right? If so you need to burn your ISO to a disc, will not work off USB

  • Will upgrading from OSX Snow Lepoard to OSX Yosemite remove my Windows Bootcamp Partition?

    Hello guys, so i have a question.
    I am currently running OSX Snow Leopard, and i want to upgrade to OSX Yosemite, but i'm scared that upgrading to Yosemite will erase my Bootcamp partition.
    so, Will upgrading to Yosemite kill the partition? or will it save it, so that after Yosemite is installed, i can still dual boot into Windows 7?
    Thanks
    !Mister_Meh

    Also backup your OS X volume.
    Windows has built-in backup software. You could also try WinClone X.

  • Can you copy the Windows Bootcamp partition over to a new hard drive?

    I'm out of space on my hard drive so I'm adding a larger one.  I originally just wanted to use my time capsule for a backup, but then I remembered about my Windows partition.
    What would be the most efficient way to copy both partitions from my original drive to the new drive for install?
    I have a Macbook Pro 13in Late 2011 model and running OSX 10.9.5.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Respectfully,
    -Cory

    Backup your Windows software using Windows backup software to a Windows formatted disk. Create a new Boot Camp partition on the new drive. Install Windows on it, then restore your backup. You can also buy disk cloning software that can clone the system to another drive and restore the entire clone. I believe Acronis has such software.

    TM doesn't back up Windows, did you not use a Windows backup program at all?
    Good luck with removing the virus but I would suggest removing and reinstalling Windows

  • How to separately backup the Boot Camp drivers partition from Leopard DVD?

    I used Disk Utility and my only (and expensive) DVD+R DL disc to make a backup copy of my Leopard DVD, and it worked perfectly to install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
    However, that was before I learned that the Boot Camp drivers was now on a separate, PC-only partition on the DVD. So while my backup copy works great to install Leopard, I have no backup of the Boot Camp driver CD.
    I tried several tricks, including booting into Windows Vista and using PowerISO to attempt to make an ISO image of the Boot Camp driver partition (shows up as 400 MB or so). However, the ISO image generated is a whopping 7.6 GB, same size as the full Leopard DVD. I then tried to take that back into the Mac OS side, but it was "unmountable". Toast 8 was able to make an image of the full DVD that (I'd presume, as did previous versions of Toast) would contain both partitions of an ISO-9660 volume, but when I mounted that disk image with Toast 8, I didn't get the two-mounted-volume like I'd normally expect to see.
    I'd really like to know how to backup this volume - I demo this system regularly on my MacBook for clients, and I don't want to have to keep using my nice, pristine Leopard DVD when I have to do my weekly re-install. Any thoughts on how to get a simple extraction of the actual volume used for the Boot Camp drivers?
    Thanks much for the time,
    MBJ

    Hi Stefan,
    Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question! Although I think your steps will "work", per se (and I will try them out as soon as I can), I'm something of a purist in regards to my backups and so this method seems a little hackish as opposed to a process that actually images the volume in question (I'm also curious from a technical perspective, as the Boot Camp Assistant Beta used to allow for a dedicated MacintoshDrivers disc to be burned from it—I liked that method better, to be honest).
    Thanks again! I'll keep checking back here for other comments, and will let you know how the method you suggested works out.
    Best wishes,
    MBJ

  • Help me save my Windows Bootcamp partition before restore

    I have tried all the suggestions and recommendations out there. MBP only hangs on Boot, grey screen w/spinning wheel. If I hold option, I see both my mac drive and Windows XP bootcamp drive partition. I can boot into Windows perfectly.So my question is how do I clone/copy my windows partition before residing to a complete Mac software restore. I have days of configuration set up on the windows partitioin and really don't want to lose it.  Thank

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. If you attempt to sync such content with a second computer, ALL itunes content will first be erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature & cannot be overridden. Because you formatted your computer, the iphone will see your computer as a "new" computer.
    1.First, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, in preferences, in itunes, which in windows is in the edit menu.
    2. Put one contact & one event in whatever programs you use for that purpose on your computer, they can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is to have one entry in each.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, DO NOT SYNC.
    4. Go up to Store>Authorize this Computer.
    5. Go up to File>Transfer Purchases. All of the purchased itunes content on your phone will be transferred, music you ripped on your own will not be transferred. You will have to use third party software to first extract that music from your phone BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING. Same for photos not in your camera roll, the photo sync is one way...computer to phone. This is one example:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    6. Right click the phone in the device pane & select Reset Warnings.
    7. Right click the phone, again, & select Backup.
    8. Right click the phone, again, & select Restore from Backup. Select the backup you just made.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select as before from the various tabs.
    You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    This article details what's included in the backup you'll make & restore from:
