I've got VMWare Fusion 5, but it doesn't really address the problem-issue here. Being forced to use my old PC as an intermediary is really nuts, in my opinion.

I can read files on the Windows 7 (Bootcamp) side from OS X, but I can't send/save anything there, which is totally crazy and ridiculous since they're all on the same computer and there are programs on the Win7 side I need to use and transfer files from for other software to use on the OS X side. The way things are now, I've been using my older WinXP machine as a kind of intermediary between the two partitions, since it's recognized by both. There should be a way to get Win 7 to see the drives and files on the OS X side, since apparently it was possible before (see my original post re Bootcamp reference). Interesting and good to know, if true, but kind of crazy, too.

The problem might be on the Win 7 side, though I've read that HomeGroups is a totally useless feature (strictly for other Win 7 computers, nothing else), so I'm at a loss how to proceed. There are serious gaps and outright omissions right now.

Apple seriously needs to update all their help files and system documentation. (By the way, I found some ancient instructions in my Bootcamp Help Files that mentions Win 7 should be able to see OS X, and how to transfer files back and forth, though it referred to the ancient FAT file system in this case, not the NTFS file system that is used in WinXP and later versions of Windows nowadays. So I did a System Restore to the previous day (luckily I had one, since I recently updated my C-Cleaner, heh), and now I'm back to the main problem, that Win7 refuses to see the OS X partition at all. The Win 7 side ended up not even seeing my WinXP computer in the network anymore, just itself. After numerous attempts, I ended up following some online help instructions to try to fix the problem, but that only messed the system up further. So far my Windows 7 partition refuses to see the OS X side on my iMac 27", though after I set up sharing using SMB, my separate Windows XP computer in my local network can now see the iMac and its drives just fine (and vice versa).īriefly, after setting up the SMB in Sharing (on the OS X side), the OS X part did appear in Win 7's Networks folder, but when I tried to access it, it refused, saying it still couldn't find it.
