I have the same problem as James. I also created an new user account on the mac and when I accessed the \\MyMac\username only then it asked for username and password, but still didn’t let me log in.
Since the whole reason for this is to transfer files, in my case the computers sit next to each other on the same desk, I installed Skype with a new account on the mac and transfer files that way. Since Skype chooses the closest nodes to transfer the files and not a central server, it’s lightining fast.

Completed up to the end of section 9, but after that, when i double click on my macbook, it opens up without the need for a password but just shows another “Printers” folder with no other files. Any ideas? Need to get the login box to appear.

@Richard

hfsexplorer (http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html) migt do the trick. I’m not sure if it integrates with windows explorer – doesn’t look like it – but it might be useful.

I saw a utility yesterday that lets you access your Mac partition from a Vista Boot Camp partition. It is called MacDrive 7 and available at http://mediafour.com/products/macdrive/. Unfortunately, it costs $49.95 which is beyond rational for this functionality.

Is there a way to do something like this without spending $50?
