[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1812418, member: 204485"] Well, blow me down, I did a quick search and found this Apple site explaining the whole (rather complicated) process but the bottom line seems to be that it is possible. [url]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5431182[/url] Having said that, to answer the original question about storing photos, personally I wouldn't do that. The reason being that Windows has a tendency to grow. The more space you can give it the better. Yes I know you just want to play one game with your son but a bit like a closet, it doesn't matter how many you have you will eventually fill them all. I had Windows 10 running via Boot Camp on a 100Gb partition on my MacBook Pro within 6 months I was struggling to find space, system updates, security patches, preference files, browsing history, game versions, updates, saved games, installers etc, etc. Technically there is no reason why you couldn't store photos on the same WD drive just don't underestimate the space needed especially if you decide to partition it.
