How can I mount Mac volumes on my windows XP workstation, Not the user profile but the OSX hard drive?

Question

Please help!

Answer 1

This is actually not that hard. OS X provides sharing capabilities of hard drives through SMB/CIFS. What you have to do is enable the service and then share the drive. Just goto "Sharing" under "System Preferences" and select "Windows Sharing" rather than "Personal File Sharing". You should then be able to select drives and option to share them as a whole. Ideally, you won't be sharing the primary disk but a share since any computer that can access the disk with the proper use name and password can also render the disk unusable should certain system file be deleted.

Answer 2

natively you can't osx uses a different format (not fat, fat16 or ntfs)... although the mac can read/write (the fats) and readonly ntfs.



if you reformat the disk, you can share it.



non-natively I remember a program that you can buy that permits some access to the mac disk
