[QUOTE="ADKhikerVW, post: 877335, member: 36483"] If you mean just looking at the folder and getting files from it, you can simply open the drive icon on your desktop and browse through it like you would any other folder. However if you want to actually run Windows while you are in OS X, you will need virtualization software such as [URL="http://www.parallels.com/"]Parallels[/URL] or [URL="http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/"]VMWare Fusion[/URL]. They will run Windows in a window as if it were an application in OS X, and you will be able to run your Windows software without rebooting. No, going online in OS X will not affect your Windows partition at all. You will only be vulnerable to viruses, etc, when you are actually running Windows. [/QUOTE]
