tony101mac Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 a easy way to do it is this. Goto radio shack and get a 4 connection switch (on-on) (not on-off) set both your hard drives to cable select. hook up the power to the control on the radioshack switch set one hard drive power to one switch set the other to the other side of the switch. Connect both hard drives to the computer using the cable. put the switch in the first position and it will boot under the hard drive you just turned on. put the switch in the other position it will boot to the other hard drive that was just turned on. (only do when computer is turned off.) I made a quick example: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17473-one-last-questioni-hope-how-can-i-access-my-windows-hd/#findComment-115233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dastrom Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 so you guys are telling me that there is no way to put things from my XP HD over to my Mac HD not even if i run windows??? I do this often - just get MacDrive 6 and install it on the XP operating system. When in Windows - the Mac HD just shows up and you can access it and save files to it just like a pc hd. Very simple. dastrom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17473-one-last-questioni-hope-how-can-i-access-my-windows-hd/#findComment-115294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
