eject Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 if you eject a harddisk on osx it's like ejcting a cd or a sb stick, it unmounts them, they are not getting alterd. if you don't want to show disks on osx you can name them starting with a dot ".xphdd", filees folders or drives starting with a dot will remain hidden in finder. you can't do this from within finder. should be possible through terminal and is possible from outside osx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/178094-very-simple-mac-usage-question/#findComment-1216596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eject Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 yes or to be percise, it is possible to install windows on a partition with a dot infront of the name, i haven't tried this on an already installed windows Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/178094-very-simple-mac-usage-question/#findComment-1217304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
