Can I use my firewire 800 wd hd in my windows boot camp?

I have a my passport studio 1tb hd with usb and firewire 800, i just installed windows 7 via bootcamp on my computer. I partitioned a portion of it to exFat which I plan on converting to NTFS or something. Can I use it with the firewire cable any way? I don't have the usb with me at the moment.

I removed the exfat partition because windows didn't recognize it. I left about 200 gb of free space though. I looked in computer management, under disk management and windows shows my ext hd as being unallocated, even though it is hfs+ and contains about a gigabyte of info. My question is: if I try to make a partition using windows, will it erase the information on my hfs+ portion?

How can I use an external USB drive on my Macmini with Boot Camp and Lion/Windows 7?

I have a MacMini (Last model with a disk drive). The Mini has Lion and Windows 7 installed using Boot Camp. I want to attach a 350GB, USB, HP Personal Storage Device (Hard Drive) to the computer and be able to use it in both Lion and Windows 7 mode. The USB drive is formatted for Windows 7. I only want to use it for storage and back-up purposes for both operating systems. It would be nice if I could access the total disk from either system without having to reboot to change operating systems to view Windows 7 files and reboot again to view Lion files. Can anyone offer any guidance or any informational websites to help me? Thank you for any help!!

Yes, you’ll be able to do that.

Where can I find an adapter that will let me use my firewire 800 devices with a thunderbolt only ported macbook air?

Been looking for a way to use my firewire 800 devices with my macbook air - which has only usb and thunderbolt ports. I've seen internet pages for an adapter from sonnet but have not found anywhere to actually purchase such a thing. Would love to be able to at least try to use the thunderbolt port - for something - or trade the thing in for something with present day usable firewire 800 ports. Is this thunderbolt technology already getting shelved? I see like 5 items on the market that actually use this port... really? That's it? Thank you for any guidance!

One more question: Stayed throughput speeds more or less the same as original Firewire (since all my movies are on external disks) or has it become significantly slower?
I haven't done a careful side by side quantitative comparison of what I had on the older Macbook Pro (which had three Firewire800 disks chained together via FW800) versus the new Macbook Pro (which has thunderbolt into which I have connected three FW800 drives daisy chained via the adaptor), mainly because my employer supplied me with these computers and required I turn in the old one when they replenished it with the new one. However, I can say this -- one of the FW800 externals is used for Time Machine, another for making entire disk clones, and the third is for misc storage. I have seen Time Machine start up during a disk clone (with SuperDuper) and there seems to be no impact. The disk cloning is generally pretty intensive on disk and cpu resources, but thunderbolt seems to have a much bigger capacity for throughput than firewire and hence can apparently accommodate multiple streams of FW800 data going back and forth with no apparent impact on each other. The main limit seems to be the FW800 speed itself, not thunderbolt. I see ~ 60 MB/s or more which is as much as I have ever seen on FW800. Ultimately, the ideal setup will be thunderbolt drives daisy chained together, I would expect hundreds of MB/s, but I don't see many of these thunderbolt drives on the market yet. Even better would be solid state drives ...

How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new Macbook with one USB-C only?

How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new MacBook with only one USB-C?

kaz-k is correct about FireWire not being supported by any possible connector or adaptor to USB-C and never will. However, there is no such thing as a FireWire Hard Drive. There are only SATA (or if it is a really old one, ATA,) drives in a FireWire enclosure. If you can remove the drive from the case/enclosure - bust it open somehow if it is a glued-up unit - then the drive can be placed into a regular USB3 enclosure. Then it can connect to the new MacBook via any one of the adaptors Apple sells.

How can we use Custom MessageBox in SelectionChangedEvent of LongListSelector for Windows Phone 8

Dear Sir/Madam,
How can we use Custom MessageBox in SelectionChangedEvent of LongListSelector for Windows Phone 8.
Actually my problem is that When i am using Custom MessageBox in SelectionChangedEvent of LongListSelector,when i am click Open(Left Button) it's working fine and navigated correctly,But when i am Click the No(Right Button) then it stayed in same page
but all that page is in stuckup i mean that page is not working and not doing any event.
My C#.net Code
private async void userPageLongListSelector_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
if (e.AddedItems.Count > 0)
if (userPageLongListSelector.SelectedItem == null)
return;
if (dbTenMin == null)
dbTenMin = new Database(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, "tenMInDBSchema.db");
await dbTenMin.OpenAsync();
var res = (sender as LongListSelector).SelectedItem as _10Min._10MinClass.minUserPages;
var resIndex = (sender as LongListSelector).ItemsSource.IndexOf(userPageLongListSelector.SelectedItem);
string selectedPageName = res.userPages.ToString();
string selectedPageDesignUser = res.pageDesignUser.ToString();
int selectedIndex = resIndex;
CustomMessageBox messageBox = new CustomMessageBox()
Caption = "Message...!",
Message = "This form need offline datalist,Please load now.",

RightButtonContent = "No"
messageBox.Dismissed += (s1, e1) =>

string uidAndpwd = _10MinClass._10MinStaticClass.csUidAndPwd.ToString();
_10MinClass._10MinStaticClass.csDataListPageDetails = selectedPageDataDetailsForSchema.ToString();

But It is not working in Selection Changed Event in LongListSelector control in Windows Phone 8.
Please help me,as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards,
SrinivaaS.

What happens if you leave the implementation for LeftButton empty as well , does the page gets stuck in that case also, if you press left button?
i.e.
CustomMessageBox messageBox = new CustomMessageBox()
Caption = "Message...!",
Message = "This form need offline datalist,Please load now.",
LeftButtonContent = "Open",
RightButtonContent = "No"
messageBox.Dismissed += (s1, e1) =>
switch (e1.Result)
case CustomMessageBoxResult.LeftButton:
break;
case CustomMessageBoxResult.RightButton:
break;
case CustomMessageBoxResult.None:
break;
default:
break;
messageBox.Show();

HT4818 Can you use both Bootcamp and Parallels with the same Windows 7 installed

I have Parallels installed with Windows 7. Can I use both Bootcamp and Parallels on the same machine depending on whether I just want to work in Windows all day (Bootcamp) or alternate during the same session (Parallels)?

You can, yes. But there is a complication: once you activate windows it will only be activated for one of the two methods you use. So, let's say you install into boot camp and activate windows. You can then install Parallels and it will find your boot camp installation, but when running in Parallels, Windows will report that it is not activated. Or, you can activate it in Parallels and when running in Boot Camp Windows will report that it is not activated. The reason for this is because Windows thinks it is running on different computers depending on how you boot it. This may not be an issue for you if you run Windows a lot one way and just occasionally the other way, so be sure to activate Windows in whichever method you use more often. Hope this helps!

Be patient with the download, it takes some time ... When it has downloaded, follow the install instructions. It works well.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?
