Getting Started with MIX86
Enabling the MacOpener Driver
When you are finished installing MacOpener,
the MacOpener driver must be enabled to
mount HFS and HFS+ drives.
To enable the settings on the MacOpener Driver:
1 Choose Start > Programs > MacOpener >
MacOpener Driver Preferences.
2 Under Driver Settings, select Enable Mac-
Opener Driver.
3 Under Extension Mapping, select Do not add
the PC extension to the Mac file name.
Mounting HFS Drives
If the MacOpener utility is installed and en-
abled, no additional steps are required to mount
HFS drives. They appear as normal system drives
after you connect them and restart your com-
puter.
Formatting and Maintaining HFS
and HFS+ Drives
Although you can use MacOpener to format HFS
and HFS+ drives from a Windows machine, this
is not recommended for use with Pro Tools. We
recommend that you connect the drives to a
Macintosh computer (if possible) and use the
ExpressPro-Tools (for Mac OS 9) or ExpressStripe
(for Mac OS X) software from ATTO, included
on the Macintosh Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM.
