2Double-click the container’s disk icon.

The icon opens and you have access to the files inside it.

You can now manipulate these files as you would any Mac OS files.

Drive container may be read-only:If the PC environment is running, you won’t be able to add anything to the drive container from the Mac OS. If you need to add files to the drive container, shut down the PC environment from the PC Setup control panel and then do steps 1 and 2 above.

Changing the size of the drive container

You may find, after installing software in a drive container, that the container is too small or too large for your needs. You cannot change the size of an existing drive container, but you can create a new one in the appropriate size and move the software to it. You can also create an additional drive container to supplement the existing one.

Two active containers maximum: For the following procedure to work, drive D must be available for assignment to a new drive container. If both drives C and D have been assigned, you must first set drive D to None and drive C to the container you need to replace. (The contents of the container assigned to drive D are unaffected.)

Calculating the proper size

To determine the proper size for the new container, follow these steps:

1Make sure you’re in the Mac OS, then open the PC Setup control panel.

You see a small Apple icon at the upper-left corner of the screen when you’re in the Mac OS.

2Check the name of the container associated with drive C.

The name of the container appears above the C: pop-up menu.
