TOPIC
I am trying to mount a PC volume created with Virtual PC, SoftWindows or the Apple PC Compatibility software in the Mac OS Finder, but my computer keeps locking up.
DISCUSSION The computer is most likely not frozen; there is simply a longer delay mounting the volume in Mac OS 8.5. On the initial mount of the PC volume under Mac OS 8.5 the OS will attempt to build FINDER.DAT information on the drive. This could take some time depending on the size of the volume mounted. The progress indicator will almost immediately jump to indicate the mount is complete, but will stay there, giving the impression that the computer is locked or crashed. Give the computer time and the volume will mount. This long delay only occurs the first time the volume is mounted. Subsequent mounts of the PC volume in the Macintosh Finder should happen almost instantaneously. |
