Well the.hdd file is a proprietary format so you're not going to be able to mount it. Easiest suggestion I can think of for your need is to install XP on a Boot Camp partition. When in OS X the Windows partition is auto mounted in read only mode. Wingdo, Jul 28, 2007. How to Mount External Devices. RELATED: Everything You Can Do With Windows 10's New Bash Shell The Windows Subsystem for Linux still automatically mounts fixed NTFS drives. So, if you have an internal C: drive and D: drive, you'll see them at /mnt/c and /mnt/d in the Linux environment. How do I mount an unmounted hard drive or external hard drive Mac? First, make sure that your external or internal hard drive is correctly connected to your Mac computer. Next, reboot the Mac computer and open Disk Utility locate and select the unmounted drive Select Mount at the top. Use these steps to force your Mac to mount an external hard drive using the command line. Use the diskutil list command to find the drive you need to mount. Enter the command diskutil mount 'disk name'. The command will return verification that the drive has been mounted.

Networker 4 4 2 download free. Interesting hint, but does anyone also know a way to mount network volumes to a special directory?
I might be able to help with this, but I'd need more info: What sort of network mounts? NFS? AFP? What exactly do you want to do?
I use automount to mount an NFS volume at startup. To get the network mount to show up somewhere other than the default mount point (/private/var/automount/server_name), I use an automount map. I also use a symlink for other/additional mount points. I do not know how to do this with AFP mounts (i.e. mounts created via 'Connect to Server'). There are also methods using NetInfo Manager, but I've found them less reliable.
If you're interested in learning more about what we're doing, let me know and I'll post detailed info on my blog:

I would be extremely interested.
I am using NFS to mount the home directories for my family on all our Macs. I currently have one server and three other systems. I have been using NFSManager to create the shares and activate connections. This stores the information in NetInfo. However, it requires manual reconnection after reboot before anyone can log into one of the network accounts. Since I have added a 10.4 iMac G5 to the mix, things have gotten even worse. If the G5 goes to sleep when being used by one of the network accounts, the network account and system are totally hung when waking requiring a power cycle of the system.
I would like a more reliable setup for this since I don't want to start synchronizing home directories on all 4 machines. My server is an older G3 iMac with two mirrored firewire drives. So information redundancy and synchronization overhead are not needed.
Ugh! That sounds rough.
So I've posted a rather lengthy and detailed article about the method we use in the lab to, among other things, automount NFS exports on our client systems. I'm still proofing it, and there may be a lot you don't need, but hopefully there's something you can use. If you have any questions, feel free to use the comments and I'll answer as soon as I can.
Good luck!

Just curious why you're using NFS instead of AFP on an all-Mac network. There are still apps that use resource forks (e.g. One chat 2 3 download free. in preferences files), which you lose with NFS.
This is an interesting hint. But in my clean installs of Tiger, I have no fstab file. I do have /etc/fstab.hd, which only contains the following text:
'IGNORE THIS FILE.
This file does nothing, contains no useful data, and might go away in
future releases. Do not depend on this file or its contents.'
Anyone know what's happened to fstab in Tiger?
https://ameblo.jp/emalenaf1976/entry-12648648427.html. fstab has always been used only in single-user mode -- that's why you need to load the info into NetInfo for it to have any effect.

Ah! Thanks! I missed that NetInfo part.
I never knew how to get tht UUID number for a drive. And now I do. Cool.
It's just not installed by default anymore. fstab worked fine in Jaguar and Panther in multi-boot mode. I've used it several times when setting up failover clusters. The main thing to remember is that you had to use the disk name as defined for the partition, not the traditional disk number as you would on other *NIX. Mac OS X has dynamic disk mounting and the disk number might change from boot to boot.
AFAIK it works fine in Tiger as well, but I've not tested it yet.

Breaking my server to save yours.
That's incorrect, Esme. I've used an entry like:
UUID=383FD42C-EA30-48A4-B260-BE51F9A206FC /Users hfs rw
.. in /etc/fstab on 10.3 & 10.4 to mount the users volume on /Users without loading data into NetInfo.
Works flawlessly, except for an ignorable 'no such file or directory' warning from the mount command run from /etc/rc when booting.
I disagree with gidds' post that claims the symlink method of users volume relocation is 'much safer and easier'. Well, at least the 'safer' part because (IMO) there's less risk of some obscure error with a directly mounted volume than referencing it through a symlink. Pretty sure I've read of trouble (maybe a bogus installer?) caused by such a symlink although that was a few years ago and may be irrelevant nowadays. Whichever method works to your satisfaction is what's best for you. :-)

and Bob's your uncle!Alternatively, if you just want to move your home directory, simply set a new home directory in NetInfo. (That lets you put different home directories on different drives, too.)

That's what I do and it is the easiest way to go for moving the home directory.
Cool.. thanks for the tip! For some reason I wasn't able to get that working in 10.3 but I'll give it another try on 10.4 because of your success.
