Literally 100% of what I've done in Windows in the past 5 years is trying to fix things, usually by booting a hard drive with a virtual machine. I assume you can access the drives just fine with Finder……that they're plugged in and powered on…etc.? |

| Dorie Scelzo 30.10.2012 | When you click disk, a drop down box shows up for you to select the disk you want to read from. Maschine 1.7.2 on OS X 10.7.4 (I don't have the time to deal with upgrade issues right now, so I'm behind on both). |

| Jeffrey Akinsanya 28.10.2012 | following up from this i have been able to drop my samples on my desktop and i can import them no problem... but i dont want to keep these files on my local disk i want to keep them external??? why cant i see my mounted external hard disk in mashine....!!!?? the format of the disk is in EXfat because i use it across osx and windows |
