piscosour00 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Was just wondering if this should be happening. I recently used Boot Camp to install Windows XP Professional, and then upgraded to Windows Vista, and for awhile spent time getting all the updates for Vista. Finally, I switched back to my Mac OS, and the first couple times I started it up it didn't happened, but after I installed a game (and maybe it's unrelated) and then restarted my computer, this Untitled Hard Drive started popping up on my desktop. I usually just eject it, but it is a little worrisome, since I can very easily explore it and see all the files on my Windows OS system, and was just wondering if there was a way to make it stop appearing. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this topic has been addressed already, but I looked through the first couple pages and didn't quite find anything that seemed to be the answer to this.

Colonel Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The "Untiled" drive is your Windows partition, it's supposed to be there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special-K Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yea, your fine. No need to worry. I thought the same thing then realized it was Boot Camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejeans Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You may be able to read all the files on the drive, but you shouldn't be able to write to the windows partition. So I wouldn't worry about screwing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
