ElShotte Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hey guys. I just got OS X 10.6 to work on my Dell XPS 420. The chipset in question is the ICH9R. I have a RAID 0 array set up with the controller. On my RAID 0 array I have Windows 7 installed, meanwhile, I have a standalone drive just for OS X. Disk Utility in OS X sees both drives separately, and when I boot into OS X I get 2 "Drive not readable" error messages. I know there is an option to create a software RAID in Disk Utility, but I believe doing so will format both of my drives. Is there any other way to go about this? I can currently transfer files inside of Windows 7 using MacDrive, but it would be a great convenience to be able to do so in Snow Leopard as well. Thanks.

Oh yeah creating an array in OS X will wipe the data on those drives. I don't think what you want to do is possible with the windows being on an array there are ways you can write to ntfs on single drive. Your best bet is probably a fat32 partition is you have an extra laying around you could format that way then both OS X and windows can write to it without problems or external drive could be used for this as well.

ElShotte Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 I thought about that. I don't think I have any extra HD's lying around. Damn. Even if I did, it wouldn't help because I only have 3 HD bays in my tower. Damn it. How about this, would VMWare running some version of Windows recognize the RAID volume? So that way I could move things back and forth inside the virtual machine? Has anyone tried?
