anarchy99 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 i know this will sound stupid but would it be possible to install windows 7 on a HFS+ drive? i know windows cant see hfs+ but i was wondering if i install it on something like ntfs and add macdrive or paragon hfs+ if i could then clone the data to a hfs+ drive something along those lines thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223384-installing-windows-on-hfs-drive/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdk1007 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Pretty sure you can't do this, but you could always partition the drive and make a portion of it be NTFS. There are programs so that windows can read and write to an HFS+ drive, but they are generally very slow.

Enrico1985 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 in a very theoretical sense you could (if you had the sources for Windows, of course). in practice, no, I don't really think you can, and I would be most astonished to see otherwise. doing that would probably require major changes to Windows so it could read HFS+ instead of NTFS when in the early stage of bootstrap Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/223384-installing-windows-on-hfs-drive/#findComment-1509677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
