macos - Virtual Machine that sees third (data) partition



I have a Mac with three partitions: MacOSX (HFS), Data (NTFS), Windows-Bootcamp (NTFS).



Is there ANY configuration that allows Windows see the "Data" partition when run as a virtual machine? (it sees it fine when booted to bootcamp natively)



VMWare Fusion, Parallels or anything? I desperately need that setup.




PS. Found this guide for parallels, it's exactly what I need but it's for Parallels ver.4 thats kinda old version, the XML file is now different... Thanks!


Answer



You didn't say which version of OS X you are running. You may need to load up an NTFS driver to access the partition within MacOS which would then allow Fusion or Parallels to map to it as a remote (network) folder.



That's how I access the directories on my partitions that are not part of the VM files.
