To use a PC drive or partition, choose Drive Partition from the C: or D: pop-up menu.
A dialog box appears with a list of available partitions.
If you use a PC drive or partition and you have a utility that mounts these
devices on the Macintosh, unmount the drive or partition before starting the
PC by dragging its icon to the Trash.
If you intend to mount your PC drive file, partition, or disk on the Macintosh
using Macintosh PC Exchange, do not use a PC compression program. Drives
that are compressed cannot be mounted.
Managing PC files from the Mac OS
You can gain access to files in a drive container even if you’re in the Mac OS.
Follow these steps:
1
Double-click the drive container in the Finder.
The drive container appears as a disk icon on the Mac OS desktop.
2
Double-click the container’s disk icon.
The icon opens and you have access to the files inside it.
You can now manipulate these files as you would any Mac OS files.
Drive container may be read-only: If the PC is running, you won’t be able to
add anything to the drive container from the Mac OS. To do so, shut down the
PC from the PC Setup control panel and then do steps 1 and 2 above.
WARNING
If you don’t unmount the drive or partition, you may lose data
because both the Macintosh and the PC may write to the device at the
same time.
