I like that the Genius Bar recommended MacFUSE. The process is very simple. The best scenario for you is to format both the windows boot camp partition and the external drive to NTFS. NTFS is the default windows filesystem and normally OS X can only read it. MacFUSE gives you the ability to write it as well. Follow the following instructions:
Format the Boot Camp partition to NTFS and install Windows. If you have already installed windows the partition is already NTFS. Format the external drive to NTFS Download and install MacFUSE. Download and install the ntfs-3g FUSE filesystem. This is the filesystem that you will utilize to read and write the NTFS partition and drive. It is very stable and well tested, and was among the original killer apps when MacFUSE was released. You may need to reboot, though I do not remember; likely not. After that, the NTFS external drive should just work. If you want to mount and read/write the Boot Camp partition under OS X you may need to open Disk Utility.app if the drive isn't automounted by the operating system at boot time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
