You can find that in the Preference Network pane on your Mac. The Status will say Connected and then continue on to read the IP address. It's also repeated further down after the text IP Address.

Once all that is done from your windows side you can just connect a new network drive with your Mac's address. So on the PC you would connect to something like 192.168.xx.yy\username and then chose to connect using a different user name and it will prompt you for the mac username/password. So my username is just cblouch so I connect to //192.168.xx.yy/cblouch where xx and yy are my actual IP address and the username is cblouch with whatever the password is I use on the Mac. After that you should have a new drive letter and be able to access all the files and folders in your username folder on your Mac. CB On 7/6/11 12:32 PM, Georges Zaynoun wrote: Hello!

I managed to see the bootcamp drive in my computer from the pc running xp among the drives after sharing it thanks to your instructions but is there anything additional I can do so I can format it remotely from the connected windows pc?

Re: Is This Possible And How?
Usually you can only format local drives. Why do you need to format it if you can already access it? You can format a drive on the Mac but it only does FAT and exFAT, not NTFS. I guess I missed that last part in your original email that you wanted to access the drive on your Mac from your PC to format it, not to access the files. I know with laptops you could boot up in Target mode by holding down the T key which turned the laptop into a very expensive external firewire hard drive. You could then hook it up to a PC's firewire port and do whatever you want to the internal drive. Generally formatting will always require local hard wired access to the hard drive for the machine that is doing the formatting.
