CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I purchased a 500gb external hard drive for may Mac to keep my music on. I installed CrossOver to use OtsJuke which is my DJ program. I am trying to import my music from the external hard drive to the program, but it will not show the drive in CrossOver. Is there a setting or commmand I can use to make the drive visable to the OtsJuke program? I am at my wits end on this one. The program works fine with the songs that are loaded on the internal hard drive. I just don't have room on the internal for my music and my videos.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

There are two views of the file system on Mac OS X. There's the high-level view presented by the Finder and Mac-native open/save dialogs. There's also the low-level view seen by Unix-y programs and at the command shell (like in Terminal).

CrossOver works with the low-level view. In this low-level view, additional drives or volumes do not appear at the top level of the file system. Rather, the appear within the Volumes folder just under the top level. CrossOver maps the Z: drive letter to the top of the file system. So, putting those together, you'll find your secondary drives and volumes under Z:/Volumes.

Z:Volumes enables me to see the hard drive on another (Windows 7) PC, but I can't see my NAS, on the same network, which is where the data I need is located.

Would much appreciate your comments please?

Shared drives will only appear in /Volumes if they're currently mounted on your Mac. Presuming that your NAS appears under "shared" in your finder and that you can successfully access it from your Mac, double-check that it is indeed mounted (On Lion this is usually as easy as clicking on the item in "shared" to allow the OS to mount the volume and connect) and then check the Z:/Volumes directory, again.
