cabron Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Mac OS Extended (journaled) That's the first option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojumk Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 did it and rebooted to bootcamp windows xp and does not show up on "my computer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosh Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Thats because Windows doesn't support HFS+ Filesystem. You can: 1. Wait for SnowLeopard, which should deliver a HFS+ driver with the new BootCamp 2. User MacDrive (50$) http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ 3. Use HFS Explorer (Free) http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html EDIT: If you want to use your HDD on other Windows machines too, i suggest you format the HDD either MS-DOS (FAT), or NTFS. (You have to download and install NTFS-3G for Mac to get NTFS support) http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ Edited May 25, 2009 by Kosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm still surprised that none of the people who have the version of Snow Leopard leaked the HFS+ drivers for windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
