I had trouble using the macbook internal drive under XP Vmware. It in fact forced a VMware XP power down - haven't seen that before. Under Mac, the disk is not mounted and only a re-start of the machine ejects it. It is not listed under Finder. Usually Windows formatted CDs/DVDs mount fine under OS X and are readable. It auto-starts with a `USB external drive under XP vmware, and it works in Firefox. > > >> Anyway, and great effort by all concerned ... :-) > Thanks :-) > Indeed.
