Hi,

 

This is my setup... dual boot

1x500gb for Win7

4x2TB  for unraid

 

i know its impossible to 'see' the unraid disks when i'm in windows but is there any way to view and copy to/from the 500gb windows hard disk when im in unraid.

 

Sorry if this sound noobish but i only have 1 toy to play around.

 

thanks

yes.  Easily, as long as it is either fat32, or NTFS.

 

an NTFS drive can be mounted as read-only easily, but you'll need to install the NTFS-3G driver if you want to write to the NTFS disk.

 

You can install the NTFS-3G driver through unMENU, and also mount the disk for access using the disk-management page in unMENU,

 

or do it yourself as in the wiki here:

Hi Joe,

 

Im not sure if my inquiry will fit but just wondering, is it really possible to dual boot Vista/Win 7 with unRAID and if it is, how? I am planning to utilize my production PC as video and file server whenever its idle/not in use. This technical noob will really appreciate your expert answers, thanks so much.
