Gerry, I think you'll be hard pressed to fid a way to do this as you describe, without a lot of tinkering on the back ends of both OS'. The simplest way, IMHO, is to go with NAS (network attached storage) such as a RAID or Drobo and just have separate partitions set up for each OS. To mirror each machine at that point would be pretty simple. Your reference to "mirroring" I suspect is relative to a RAID array, which would have to be unique for each OS, I believe. Keep in mind that the only real redundant RAID setup is level 5 or above. Levels 0, 1 and 2 won't give you the integrity you require. You're talking about a fairly substantial undertaking, even with the price of storage these days. Why exactly are you wanting to do this? Maybe I missed this part of the thread, but I don't recall anyone asking. If it's just to maintain data integrity and/or backups, you're overthinking this big time. If data integrity/redundancy is all you're looking for, just buy a couple of NAS boxes that are set up for RAID 5. Unless your PC has room for at least three drives, you're SOL there. A Mac Pro is the only Apple machine that could do this. Tell us more.... Dan

When something is added to the Apple hd it will also be added to the windows hd. When something is added to the windows hd it will also be added to the Apple hd; i.e. each computer will be the backup for the other; just like in a server with mirrored hds. If one hd self destructs all the data will be on the other hd. The idea is to avoid having an external drive, cables, etc. Gerry '83 300D and 240D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
