Sharing Mac OS X Media Storage for
Mounting on Windows XP
You can share a Mac OS X volume so that it can
be mounted on a remote Windows XP machine.
Sharing Mac OS X media storage other than the
boot drive with a Windows XP machine requires
installing a third-party utility (such as Share-
Points by Hornware).
To download and install SharePoints:
1 In Mac OS X, launch a web browser and navi-
gate to:
http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints
2 Download the appropriate version of the soft-
ware.
Properties dialog, Sharing tab
You should share the entire volume if possi-
ble and not just individual folders. This
makes it easier for you to re-link files in your
Pro Tools session.
When you manually copy files from a Mac
volume to a mounted Windows XP volume,
a “ghost” file appears for each file that you
copy. The ghost file has a nearly identical
name to the original file, except that it is
prefixed with the characters
._ and a greyed
out icon. For example, copying the filename
Macintosh.doc would create another file
called
._Macintosh.doc. These files do not
affect anything and can be deleted without
causing any issues.
