Hey! I remember a while back when I was online seeing some thing about an application which installs drivers to let windows read Mac file partitions, just wondering does any one know what it was as MacDrive looks awful, I just want to have it intergrate into windows so I can use My Computer to access the HDD. Thanks!

A little faffing but it might be your cheapest bet.

Have 3 partitions on your Mac, one HFS+ (for Mac OS X and Applications), one NTFS (for Windows and Applications) and the other FAT32 (for "generic" files such as music/movies/documents).

As far as I know you cannot use bootcamp on a system with more than 1 partition and I know that its possible to create another after but its a lot of hassel and I dont want to do that I want to have access the other way I know there is an application but I cannot remember what its called and was wondering if any one knew what it was called. However thanks for the suggestion!

What do you mean integrate it into Windows? When you install the program it automatically integrates itself. You have a right-click context menu, you can see HFS+ drives in explorer (marked with a little red apple). :confused:

Yeah sorry I was looking at screen shots of the program and realised that they were of an older version or some thing! Thanks for the help all the mystery is solved!
