marliwahoo Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) FYI. A preview of Macdrive 7 will be available in early February and a final version should be avail able in March. http://www.mediafour.com/support/vista.asp Edited January 27, 2007 by marliwahoo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40066-macdrive-7-previewfinal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Nice find! I can't wait to use this. When my Mac drive enabled and Vista is running however, it sounds like the computer randomly makes memory dumps. It's connected, but it doesn't have a drive letter (which is normal. It's listed as being connected in Computer Management though.) I have to manually go into Computer Management and disable the Mac drive all-together. I wonder if MacDrive will fix this.

marliwahoo Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 I guess the preview is not a beta because there is only one month between "preview" and "release". That's hardly enough time to test. I'm looking forward to this. Now if there was only an easy way to read & write to ntfs while using OSX.

Colonel Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I get the following error when I reboot after installing. I've tried "repairing" three times, and it doesn't seem to do anything.

cartri Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The same here... i guess its because we are using Vista x64? I tryed to look on regedit and found some missing entrys on registry like the ImagePath of the .sys drivers.. .tryed installing it with disabled signature enforcement and nothing, no chance to using even then... I did manually copyed form SysWoW64\drivers to System32\drivers but still no chance, not even adding the system32 ImagePath to windows registry... And there is no INF file so we can manually install the 2 unloadable .sys files... Anyone have an idea? Is it possible we make a inf for this?? I would love to have it working, even if it only works hiting F8 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40066-macdrive-7-previewfinal/#findComment-295419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Ahh! I forgot about MacDrive's 64-bit problem. Well hopefully MediaFour will realize that more and more people are using 64-bit and will port MacDrive over.

tomtefar Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Does anyone know how you enter a serial in MacDrive 6? I can't find the menu where I can choose "Enter serial" or similar.

mifki Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 i dont think u need a serial, they were smart and made it harder to crack by not allowing you to enter a serial and it removes the 5 day limit (thats what they did with the old one) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40066-macdrive-7-previewfinal/#findComment-296108 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartri Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 People who uses MACs really do have 64bit processors, so there would be more users with 64bit (unsuported) windows then with 32... not really smart not supporting it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40066-macdrive-7-previewfinal/#findComment-296307 Share on other sites More sharing options...

B612 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Has anyone tried to use MacDrive Beta 2 in x64 OS's? (I mean Vista x64 or XPx64) OK, I'll answer myself to my question: I have installed Vista x64 today and definitely MacDrive Beta 2 doesn't work. On the side of MacDrive I have read that they don't even know by when the x64 version will be ready. Are they dumb or something? Don't they know that lots of people will be requesting that version???
