Dahwan Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 This is my situation: I've got my custom built setup that i previously successfully managed to install iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 to. But since I'm a heavy gamer i had to have Vista as well. I had them both on a perfectly stable dualboot system. But after a couple of months with heavy uTorrenting on OSX errors began a'poppin. I used a osx extension/driver (can't remember what it was called) so that i could reach a NTFS HDD (my second hdd that i used for storage). But after i had downloaded several gigabytes of programs, shows and games the "something something ntfs table" got screwed up, and everything i had ever downloaded using OSX got corrupt and had to be deleted. Thinking this was a one time situation, i gave it another shot. A few days later the same error happened to all my new downloads. Turns out it happened every time the PC restarted. So now i have a serious problem: i {censored} LOVE OSX, i even have the newest apple keyboard, but it's communication with a windows HDD partition is something i haven't mastered. So what i require from you forum gurus is information; is there a way to do the following setup - three partitions on my 1st HDD; an extended journaled something something partition of 100GB for my OSX installation, a 100GB partition for Time Machine, a 30GB partition for windows, and my entire 2nd HDD for storage? All i need my windows partition for is gaming, so if anyone could gimme some idea as to how to get this working, it'd be great. Is there perhaps a driver for windows to access OSX HDD format? That way my entire second HDD could be formatted with extended journaled format, and my windows partition could copy torrented games from there. Thanks for any advice - OSXation will occur in the weekend, so any advice before then would be nice EDIT: I think this was the driver i used - ntfs-3g/macfuse http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/188515-dualboot-osx-and-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahwan Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Honestly, when i got a gmail about a forum reply I figured it was some kind of error. That was an insanely fast reply, and just happens to have solved all my problems (given it works). If a cred++ existed, I'd click it for you all night Thanks a million - I'll refer to this thread if problems occur.
