mac virtual cannot load usb drive formatted for mac-windows7 is host
Ok super guru's I really need help with this ASAP
So here is the deal I have windows 7 Pro (64 bit) host
I am running VMware I have Mac OS 10 (leopard) installed boots up
and runs fine and can access all of my USB devices that are windows based
The problem is that I have a USB external hard drive formatted
under MAC ... it is my friends drive that I need to transfer files to
but since it is not recognized by the host it seems it cannot be loaded
by the mac virtual machine either
The drive is not recognized by the host windows 7 whatsoever
under device manager there is no exclamation point or unrecognized
device there is no sound when plugged or any activity on the host side
disk manager shows nothing
I am sure the drive is fine under a mac but I have no idea how to load it into the mac virtual machine since there is no path or drive letter to point to
Please help me get this drive open so i can transfer files back and forth
btw any suggestions of other methods for accessing a mac drive under windows
would be greatly appreciated I just assumed that if I loaded a mac OS virtual that the drive would just pop up ...sadly this not the case
so what can I do ????
