    Hi,

    I am using a Win32 Function (CopyFile) to copy files in a application running on windows 7 as virtual machine on a MacBook Pro Host. This copy function succeeds only if the destination is a network drive with filesystem NTFS or if I connected a drive via firewire at the MacBook Pro - but only if this is formatted as FAT. When I format this drive with ExtFat or Mac OS Journaled, ... then the copy function fails and returns error code 5 (access denied).

    Does someone know about this?

    Thanks
    Alex

    Well this is obvious - you cannot communicate straight from NTFS to GPT. Please describe step by step instruction how to reproduce this issue?
