Jan 23, 2016 - For instance, to mount your usb drive, find device path with either lsblk or sudo blkid and then mount like so, for example, udisksctl mount -b. Where are the Windows files located on the Mac hard drive? Discussion in 'General Questions' started by WilDersh, Jun 24. I'm trying to find my windows files to backup with my Mac backups. I can't find the path for the files stored for Vista in Parallels. It is a firewire drive. If I put it on USB, I can access it, but not while using.
Thanks for the clarification. I imagine that the device instance path has a specific syntax for merging those in a string. Is it '%s%s%s%s', (CHAR.)((BYTE.)&STORAGEDEVICEDESCRIPTOR) + STORAGEDEVICEDESCRIPTOR.VendorIdOffset), (CHAR.)((BYTE.)&STORAGEDEVICEDESCRIPTOR) + STORAGEDEVICEDESCRIPTOR.ProductIdOffset), (CHAR.)((BYTE.)&STORAGEDEVICEDESCRIPTOR) + STORAGEDEVICEDESCRIPTOR.ProductRevisionOffset), (CHAR.)((BYTE.)&STORAGEDEVICEDESCRIPTOR) + STORAGEDEVICEDESCRIPTOR.SerialNumberOffset)? Looking at a couple examples for different devices makes me wonder if the syntax is not tricky, or even dependent of the driver class.
On a display device: PCI VEN10DE&DEV06FD&SUBSYS062E10DE&REVA1 4&30169EC3&0&0018&1 On a DVD-RAM device: IDE CDROMHL-DT-STDVD-RAMGH40LRB02 4&48098F&0&0.2.0&1 And how to handle the case where one of the offset is zero, as a potential case detailed by? Eng.

Grey Bird: Your question prompted me to boot my Powerbook into OS 9.2.2 for the first time in a long while. The Finder's 'Erase Disk' command (in the Special menu) is happy to erase my Lexar JumpDrive Secure in either Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS+) format. It does not offer the option of DOS format, and I suspect that's because the drive is currently in a Mac format. If it were currently in DOS format, I'm not sure the Mac formats would be offered as options. If using the Finder command works for you, I heartily recommend avoiding the use of third-party disk formatters, not only because they cost $, but also because they may well give you headaches down the road that you can do without.
Ok, that does change things a bit. П™‚ I have a 256 Mb jump drive and I can move it around from a 9.2.2 machine to a 10.3.9 machine, and both of them see the drive right away, no worries. They saw it from day one, as I recall.
So, this makes me think that the drive is not being mounted for some reason. Do you use other USB devices with this machine? Are you using a hub?
Have you had problems with other USB devices? Another thing to check is to make sure that you have the latest, greatest USB drivers for OS 9. HTH, FifthWheel. I'm new to Macs, so maybe this isn't really a problem. I've found before that I sometimes needlessly over-complicate things with Macs. Anyway, OS 9 'sees' the drive, but I wanted to format it in HFS+ so when I back up files (such as the OS 9 updates) on it I don't lose the resource fork.
I used Macs years ago and remembered that the file system used 2 forks for each file and am concerned that I will lose important information if I back up files onto a disk formatted as FAT instead of HFS+. If this isn't a problem then I will just back up onto the drive in its current filesystem. (Btw, thanks much for your help!).
