[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1721632, member: 131855"] @Charlie, Does the following get churin to what the wants to do? I'm not sure it works. @churin [B] Danger Will Robinson!!! Don't try the following without backups of both your Mac partition, Windows partition and any important data[/B]. (Slydude arms flailing wildly in best robot impression). 1. Backup both partitions. I'd suggest "cloning" the Mac partition so you can boot from it should things going go wrong. 2. Create the data partition out of part of the OS X partition. OS X will want to format the drive as HFS+ which you can read from Windows using the [URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows/"]HFS+ reader from Paragon[/URL]. It should also work if the partition is NTFS using the reader Charlie suggested. Doing this might be impossible. I don't remember for sure if OS X will allow you to create the data partition out of the OS X partition. If this is possible, it might require deleting the Windows partition and basically start from scratch. That's why the need for the backup. [/QUOTE]
