Hello Alex. So if I have my Bootcamp partition booted I can navigate to say my hd partition and read the file or copy it. I just can't write to it from the Bootcamp partition or do anything with folders except copy them to the Bootcamp? Are my assumptions correct?
Thanks so much. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 11:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Using Boot Camp Wait, yes you can. I was working with garageband the other day and needed an mp3 stored on my windows partition, so I opened up the folder and copied the file with no problems over to the mac's partition. I then copied the finished mp3 from the mac partition to the windows one while I was booted into windows, again with no trouble. No, you can't copy *to* a partition not in use, but you can copy from one to your active partition just fine.
