[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1359495, member: 24098"] 1) You need to modify the Boot Camp virtual machine properties in order to allow your Macintosh HD partition to be mounted and usable in Windows. Start VMWare Fusion, but do not boot the virtual machine. Click the Virtual Machine menu and click Settings. Click Sharing and turn it on. Then select the Macintosh HD as the folder you want to share. 2) OS X from the factory can only read NTFS partitions. You'd need third party drivers to allow for R/W operations. I recommend [URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/"]Paragon NTFS for Mac[/URL] for this purpose. There is a free alternative known as MacFUSE/NTFS 3G available as well, but it can be flakey and difficult to setup. [/QUOTE]
