writing to mac side with Windows 7

[financeguy]

Is there any way or any add-on that would enable Windows 7 to write to the mac side of MBA.

I only use Windows for Office 2007 (Excel VBA), but would like to keep all my files on the mac side. Is this possible?

Mac Drive is probably your best bet for that.

Yes, I second it: MacDrive.

Like you, when I boot to Windows I want to store all my files on the Mac hard drive (this is nice for accessing the files on either OS and it simplifies my backups because all working files get included in the Time Machine backups.)

If you want a VM solution, Parallels can mount your mac hard drive (or a folder on your mac hard drive) in the guest OS. Fusion could also do this, but I ran in to problems with certain apps (Visual Studio 2005 was the big one for me -- rebuilding or cleaning a project would fail at the point it was deleting old files for some reason). This was about a year ago so maybe they fixed this since then.

Thanks. I'll check it out.
