Problems accessing osx partition when in windows

Hi!
I've been running bootcamp with windows xp to play game's as smoothly as possible for some time.
Until this day it has been working really great with MacDrive as a way to get access to the osx partition when im in windows.. But suddenly, after doing the firmware update this morning, i cant access the osx partition when in windows, actually, windows cant find the partition at all anymore.. This is a problem since all my games are on the osx partition. Could it be the firmware update that did it, or is there something wrong with the windows partition? And finally, how can i fix this?
Im greatful for all kinds of respons, thank you!
if it is any help, i got a macbook pro.

yup

    Right Windows can Not read Mac formatted drives.
    If you want to use that drive on both systems you will need to use some other format then Mac Extended (Journaled). Something like Fat32 or exFAT. Or since it is already partitioned just use the Windows partition on Windows.
    Of couse you can try using one of those add-on programs that allows Windows to read Mac drives.

  • Deleted OSX partition after installing windows

    I installed windows 8 in bootcamp, everything was fine and working properly. I have now deleted the osx partition and was wondering if i ever wanted it back could i use the internet recovery to do so, as i don't have a disk or anything that came with my mbp 15" 2014?

    Hello nathanwragg96,
    The article linked below provides further information regarding OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery. In the event that the existing Recovery partition is removed or damaged, Internet Recovery can be invoked via CMD + Option + R at boot.

  • Graphic problem with OSX Lion - freezing all windows

    I try to define my graphic problem with OSX Lion. Simply if you have set for example hot cornes and switch between desktop, all windows etc. the move of switchng windows i chopping and freezing. I dont idea why, but it hapennig since I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp. But the problem is still here after I remove Windows. Cleaning cash doesnt work. Can anybody help me please?

    No, it's not Lion. It may be something you installed. If you just bought it you could also take it back to the Apple Store and they may be able to help.

  • Is it possible to use Boot Camp to partition an external hard drive so there is a OSX partition and a Windows partiton?  I want to use the external drive for backup only, NOT to load Windows and NOT to use as a boot drive.

    I have partitioned the internal hard drive and am running Lion and Win7 Pro on my iMac i5 2.7GHz with 16GB RAM.  Can I use Boot Camp to create a Windows partition on an OSX external hard drive to use for backing up both systems to the same HDD?  I do NOT want to install OSX Lion or Windows 7 Professional on the external drive.  I do NOT want to boot either system from the external drive.  The 3TB external drive is for backup only.

    Use NTFS for Windows and buy Paragon NTFS for OS X
    You can also try Paragon HFS for Windows
    As long as you are using for data and backups, you can leave the drive as GPT too.
    I would recommend strongly to always have a 2nd bootable Mac OS drive, only need 30GB partition. System maintenance. Though LIon Recovery Mode finally makes it less but not totally unneeded.
    And yes you can use Windows to create a partition.
    Boot Camp is too broad. Do you want or mean BC Assistant? not needed but probably possible.
    MBR has trouble with 3TB drives.

  • Can I delete my OSX partition when running win7 via bootcamp, without breaking anything?

    Helpful answers only please this isn't a Win vs. Mac discussion
    I'm running Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro, which I installed via bootcamp and haven't used OSX since...
    Can I just delete the partition to which OSX is installed and use Windows 7 only or could that break my system?
    Thanks,
    Robin

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can do what you want to do, because the EFI partition remains untouched. Windows comes with Disk Management (you can find it digging into Control Panel), that allows you to do what you want to do. See > http://technet.microsoft.com/es-es/library/cc770943.aspx
    I do not recommend you to delete OS X in case you need to install firmware updates, but instead what you can do is to give OS X the minimum space possible and give near everything to Windows. You can do this in OS X with Paragon Camptune.

  • How to access Mac items when in Windows

    Is there any way to transfer photos, music, etc. directly to my Windows XP from my Mac OSX files? Or do I have to create DVD's or CD's and then load them in that way?

    Okay. I formatted a Maxtor External HD in MS-DOS ( FAT ) and then put some of my image files on it. Then I switched over to Windows XP to look for the drive. It did not show up. I am using a FW cable. This drive always worked great for Mac operations.
    What else to do to get it to recognize it? I installed the One-Touch disk that came with the Maxtor, but I don't think I even needed this. Is the drive supposed to show up in My Computer under Hard Disk Drives?
    Thanks -
    Either use a FAT partition separate from XP might be safest. Then copy to XP. I'd use a FW drive, but FireWire transfers in Windows can be darn slow (10MB/sec).

  • Problem with external monitor when using Windows XP on MBP

    Hi All,
    I just got a 15.4" MBP, and put Windows XP Home on it using BootCamp. Anyway, the monitor sits above the MBP's screen, as shown below (set up this way through display props, not sure if it matters):
    [ ] External Monitor
    [ ] MBP Screen
    Anyway, some program windows won't drag to the external monitor (Dell 2007FP connected via DVI). An example is AIM. Any idea what it could be? The window shows for about 1/2" on the top monitor, and then it sticks, even though the cursor will continue to move upwards.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hello Gray:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    It appears from this knowledge base article, that you need a USB keyboard to use Bootcamp:

  • Problems accessing iTunes Store on a Windows Vista PC

    I'm connected to the internet on my PC and I can get to any website I want to.  I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes through Firefox.  But every time I try to connect to the iTunes Store within the application I continue to get a message iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The netwokr connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.  I do not have the Windows Firewall turned on and I'm using Webroot for virus protection and I have turned off it's firewall but it as not changed anything for me.

  • HT5628 How do I read OSX partition from Windows?

    I am thinking of installing Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro using Boot Camp to create a dual boot system.
    If I do this, how can I access my current Mac OSX partition from within Windows? Does boot camp mount the Mac OSX partition automatically?
    If not, how can I share data between my Windows partition and Mac OSX partition?
    (Apologies if this is an elementary question, but I couldn't see an obvious answer anywhere.)
    Thanks.

    If I do this, how can I access my current Mac OSX partition from within Windows? Does boot camp mount the Mac OSX partition automatically?
    You can't access the Mac because it isn't running when you dual boot. You can purchase third-party software such as MediaFour's DriveOne to access the OS X partition. From OS X you will need a utility such as NTFS for Mac 10.0.2 or Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.6 to write to the Windows partition.

  • Problem accessing mounted ntfs partitions

    Hi,
    I have problems accessing ntfs partitions as a non root user. The user trying to acces the partition is in usergroup wheel and has sudo acces.
    /etc/fstab looks like this:
    /dev/sda5 /media/winC ntfs defaults 0 2
    /dev/sdb1 /media/winD ntfs defaults 0 2
    It does not matter where I mount them (e.g. /home/user/media/winC), if i try cd-ing into the directory, it tells me:
    cd /medi/winC
    -bash: cd: /media/winC: Permission denied
    When i try the following, it tells me:
    sudo cd /medi/winC
    sudo: cd: command not found
    which I find a bit strange, but ok.
    Any pointers what I am doing wrong? cd-ing as root works, but i would like to acces it as a normal user too. Using the following options did not work for me:
    rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,users,async
    mount -l tells me the following when using the options stated above:
    /dev/sda5 on /media/winC type ntfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mtf_zone_multiplier=1)
    Thanks for any pointers!

    You should use ntfs-3g instead of ntfs.  I'm not sure if that will solve this problem, though it might, but it will prevent others.
    As for "sudo cp" failing, that is not odd at all: `cd` is not a program, it is a shell builtin - there is no `cd` binary for sudo to execute.
    Thanks for the explanation. I will try ntfs-3g as soon as I manage to connect to the internet again.

  • WiFi slow when running Windows 7 on Mac Mini (2011)

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Mac Mini (2011) and used Boot Camp for installing Windows 7 as well. However I am experiencing some problems with the WiFi when running Windows. The speed is less than 10% of what it should be. I have tried connecting a network cable and then everything is running fine. When booting into OS X Lion there are no problems with running WiFi. I have tried to rightclick on the network adapter and select update drivers but it says that the driver installed is up to date.
    Any ideas?

    Apparently it was a router issue. When I connected my old Cisco router as an extended access point both the Mac OS and Windows session connected as supposed to. I made a factory reset of the router provided by my ISP, configured it again and the problem apparently seemed to be solved.
    However overnight the problem occured again - I swithed the router off and on again and was able to connect. I noticed in the DHCP log that when running Mac OS the computername "My-Mac-Mini" is sent to the router with the MAC address of the network card - when running Windows it is the machine name I entered during the Windows installation. Not sure if that is confusing the router from my ISP but after I changed the computername in Mac OS the connection seems stable.

  • Disk Problems, OSX partition will not repair is Windows CHKDSK the culprit?

    Hi,
    I have both Snow Leopard (fully updated) and Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition on my MacBook Pro.
    Repairing Permissions on my Mac OS 10.6.4 partition had become a very regular with 'Java' permission problems always seeming to be a very regular and common one.
    Anyhow, I thought it appropriate and logical to run the WIndows 7 equivalent of disk-verify/disk-repair/permission-repair and therefore run CHKDSK at 'CMD' level and this appeared to run accordingly without problems.
    At some point/days later, my Mac OS appeared to be slow and having a lot of spinny-ball, therefore verified Macintosh HD volume-disk with Disk Utility and showed to have lots of problem. Disk Utility Repair has failed having tried it many times and not even Drive Genius 3 is able to repair or rebuild it on this occasion however I was able to run a 'Scan' on it from Drive Genius 3 and it reported thankfully that there was NO bad blocks.
    The error thats returned repeatedly when doing a repair is "Incorrect number of thread records" which is reported immediately after "Checking Catalog File"
    Not keen on the thought of having to format, re-install and then re-setup the system even from a Super-Duper backup copy that I had made previously (minus some data since).
    However, my questions are:
    1. Is it possible that the Windows 7 'CHKDSK' command may have possibly caused this despite the fact that it would have or should have only performed it's operations on the BOOTCAMP disk partition?
    2. Is it possible to reformat and restore any previously backed-up images to a single disk partition _without upsetting the other Partition and OS_ residing on it (albeit on the same overall physical disk), i.e. Restoring my Mac OS X SuperDuper backup image back onto the current Mac partition... and would the same apply if ever having to restore a Windows 7 Acronis backup image back onto the current BOOTCAMP partition.
    3. Would there be another alternative before a drastic reformat and recovery of the Mac OSX partition (if that's even possible without affecting BOOTCAMP - from question 2 above)
    Advice would be much appreciated, many thanx.

    At the time I had run the 'CHKDSK' command from within Windows, from the 'Run' command prompt located within the Start Menu.
    Fortunately I still have the previous HDD that originally came with the MacBook Pro before I upgraded the internal drive some time ago and therefore I have been able to boot externally from this and continue to do so until I've decided what to do, which looks like a recovery from the previous super-duper backup will be inevitable.
    I guess I'm unlikely to come across any software or fix that will be capable of correcting the 'faulty number of thread records' being reported after the 'Checking Catalog File' disk repair check routine, however if I find a solution then I'll post it here, otherwise an eventual recovery/install it is.
    Under Fortuny's revelation, I will procede with MacDrive with caution and probably disable it if ever running a Windows CHKDSK again (if indeed this is the underlying cause of the problem). And under your advise 'The hatter' I shall certainly look into the Windows system file checker alternative, thanks.

  • What happen to window partition when i updated from OSX 10.6 to 10.7?

    what happens to boot camp and windows 7 partition when i updated from OSX 10.6 to 10.7?

    When you install 10.7 or later, a Recovery HD partition is created taking a small part of the bottom portion of the BootCamp partition so it will be slightly smaller.
    However upgrades can go bad and you need to backup regardless.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If you can only upgrade to 10.7 on that machine and can't go to 10.8, then really it's almost a wasted effort really.
    You should know your PPC based programs that are running under 10.6's  "Rosetta" are NOT going to work if you upgrade to 10.7 or later.
    Be prepared to buy all new programs.

    Also there is a performance issue especially after you software update 10.7 to the lastest version, it's more defined on older machines.
    If it's not a Early 2011 or later, I would stick with 10.6.8 on it as it has about 30% version share, almost the same as 10.7 has. Apple is paying attention to Snow Leopard, recent security updates have been issued.
