jhoussock Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 i have vista and leopard working great in a dual boot...however theres one more thing i would like to accomplish..the vista partition shows up on my desktop in leopard as untitled and the drive is read only. Is there any way to change the permissions so that i can make changes to the drive from leopard?....the main reason i want to do this is for itunes i have added videos to the library from my vista harddrive without copying them over to the leopard drive, but now i cant change my videos info because it is locked. i should add that i don't want to mess up my dual boot in the process of changeing the permissions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97167-dualbooting-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie's Soliloquy Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 OS X can't write to NTFS partitions, and Vista doesn't install on anything other than NTFS. To have a shared library, you'd need a third, FAT32 partition in which to store your music etc, because both Vista and OS X can read/write that without issues.

k3nny Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Alternatively you can use NTFS-3G for Leopard and Macdrive for Vista to mount HFS partitions. Read and write will be enabled. I didnt have any problems so far. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97167-dualbooting-question/#findComment-693903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
