dududau Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I need to know, it seems everybody is succesful at using macdrive 6.1.4. For me, I cant seem to see my OS X86 partition even if i click "view mac disk in my computer" I'm not too sure about the HFS+ thing i've been reading about....just so anybody would know, through partitionmagic, my OS X86 partition is labelled as TypeAF. So, can anybody help me? Just want share my files between windows and mac without creating a new FAT32 partition.

alexs Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Do you have dameontools or something similar installed (used for mounting disk images in windows). It uses a SCSI pass-thorough driver that's incompatible with MacDrive. You can have one or the other, not both!

Rammjet Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm sure Alcohol 120% is fine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-153433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Macdrive works fine with Daemon tools. Try finding another copy and reinstall. Look for 6.11 and it will update to latest Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-153440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviant0ne Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 MacDrive has never worked for me either. I've tried everything, but I too cannot see my OS X HD. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-153448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukelee Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Known problem! MacDrive does not work when SPTD is installed. You can use the old Daemon Tools 3.47 instead. It doesn't use the SCSI-pass driver. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-154031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dududau Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 ok ok. I've uninstalled Alcohol 120%. Still does not make any difference. I'm gonna try reinstalling macdrive 6.1.4. Maybe it's something else.... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-154752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Uninstalling Alcohlol or Daemon Tools 4.x is not enough, the SPTD drivers will remain loaded. In the directory \Windows\System32\drivers\ find the files that beginn with sptd (e.g. sptd.sys & sptd2205.sys) and rename them to something else (like sptd.sys_) so they do not get loaded @ startup anymore. Restart you machine. If you did not have any sptd drivers in that directory, press your keyboard's Windows-key + R - the little RUN window will pop up. Type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter - the Disk Management console will come up. The console will see your HFS partition. Right mouse click onto it and assign a drive letter of your choice.

lukelee Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 To remove the SPTD-driver, simple download it and via command-console, execute it "sptdinst_x86.exe remove" and SPTD will remove itself from your windows installation. SPTDinst X86 or SPTDinst X64 if you're running 64-bit Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-155012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dududau Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Thank you...for all the replies It now works like a charm...with the SPTD remover. So. just want to make it clear, with MacDrive installed...i cant use Alcohol 120% right? It's either one of them. Alright...and if i want Alcohol, just uninstall MacDrive and reinstall alcohol.. Thank you! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-155553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 no, you can reinstall Alcohol and then uninstall the SPTD-drivers. The only thing that does not work in Alcohol then is the virtual drive(s). If you start Alcohol with the SPTD drivers uninstalled Alcohol gives you a little message that the image drives won't work, that's all. I am running Alcohol + MacDrive on both of my machines Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-155591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dududau Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 AH! i see...so clearly now. anyway, doesnt it defeats the purpose of having alcohol without the virtual drive?

BuXb Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 not at all, you can still burn alcohol images, that's what I use it for in the first place, anyway. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-156093 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuXb Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Watch out with MacDrive - it is not really compatible with our hackint0sh HFS+ partitions and has a tendancy to f*** up your HFS filesystem if writing to it. Copying out of HFS is fine, though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23057-macdrive/#findComment-203800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacSimizeDenver Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I've done this and still can't get macdrive working. in dskmgmnt i can't select change drive letter. help! Same prob like me....changin the drive letter is greyed out. I will have a look with the acronis dosk director if I can create a drive letter. any other ideas? ...... Well, I gave the mac disk a drive letter with disk director but it's still not visible in the windows explorer...maybe after a restart? I will try......one moment please.

MacSimizeDenver Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Finally, it works! After my last restart my mac HD still wasn't visible for XP, only in the diskmgmt.msc and in Acronis Disk Director. Because I can't chnage the drive letter in diskmgmt.msc, I've done it in the Disk Director. But - still dirive not visible. Last solution - update MacDrive to the latest version. I had 6.0.5 running - now, with 6.1.5, my harddisk is visible and usable. Great!
