Boot Camp 3.0 and hidden files

Same here, haven't figured it out yet.

Hi and welocme to Discussions,

just checked with my Mac and I don't have problems accessing the User folder.

Are you running as Administrator in Windows ? I do.

When right-clicking on the Mac disk and choosing properties (or settings - I have a German XP) and then goto to the Share Tab (far right one...), what do you get?

It shows 'shared' here.

regards

Stefan

This works for for Files on your window OS drive(C:) - example NetHood, MyDocuments shortcut, anything not accessible to you

Right click on non-accessible object->Properties->Security Tab->Edit->Remove Everyone entry which is preventing your access on purpose.

Same problem on Windows Vista Home Premium.

When I copied another copy of home folder and change owner to root, that folder can see from Windows.

It seems to work properly only on Windows XP Professional or above Windows Vista Professional.

Does it matter if you have Windows on its own drive? what of other volumes and drives? I wouldn't expect RAID volumes using HFS+ to be accessible but what of items not in one of your Mac OS X system or if /Users is even on another volume?

Some people had BSOD with 3.0 on their Mac Pro (64-bit Vista and Win7) but seems not everyone had such an experience.

Yes. It works!

Hi All:

Nice temp hack MAC70, by using the GUI it seems fine!, but if you do a DIR (list directory) in command prompt using windows, look at what you get!, I was getting about 20 lines of the error message " The Parameter is incorrect." with what seems to be a date parameter of 05/23/28863 and or command prompt would just crash. But if I do for example: d: cd \users\admin and then tree it does list.

Hello everyone:

By deleting the Xauthority hidden file on Mac and then booting into windows, it will work GUI wise. However once you are back in the Mac OS X environment and if you launch any application using X11 or X 11 itself, it will rebuild the Xauth. file once more and the temp hack is no longer usable. So for all guys that want to use mac70's hack and never use X11 then go for it if you only want GUI listings of your user home folder files.

By the way nice discovery mac70 🙂

Anyone know if there is a permanent fix or not?

Hmm... I have a situation where when accessing my mac drive from Windows XP, I'm unable to see certain files. I discovered this my importing my iTunes library from the mac drive into my XP iTunes. Most of the files came over.. but a few are missing. It's strange because I don't see any particular permissions on these files...

Anyone have any ideas what this would be?

I think this might be a bug in Apple's boot camp HFS app. I downloaded HFSExplorer and it works like a champ.. all the files that are not showing up in Apple's implementation are there in HFSExplorer...
