Navigating Folders in Crossover Mac
Due to the nature of running two
operating systems on your machine,
there are a number of
drives and folders to navigate, including (Z:), (Y:), (C:), (Desktop) and (My
Computer).
Thus, it can be confusing to navigate
through the folders when you first install, save or open Netica files on your
Mac.
Here
is a breakdown of the various drives and folders under Crossover Mac:
1. Desktop: This is a Windows reference. This is NOT your Mac desktop.
There should be a separate folder in that
same list of directories called "My Mac Desktop".
You need to install Netica on your Mac
through the (Z:) drive.
Choose ‘My Mac Desktop’ if you want to
access non-application files on your Mac.
2. My
Computer: If you open ‘My Computer’,
you will find 3 drives:
drive_c(C:)
/Users/yourcomputername
(Y:)
/(Z:) – this also
shows up as an icon of a hard drive with a blank (/)
Drive_c: If you are used to working on a PC, the usual
way to save a file is the C drive.
This is not the case when you are working
with Crossover Mac.
The C drive has a folder named
"Program Files". Do not be fooled, these are not the Program
Files of your Mac!
(Y:) takes you
directly to the main account directory of your Mac, where you will see a folder
for your Desktop, Downloads, Documents, etc.
/(Z:) is basically the
equivalent to the c:drive in Windows. The
path to your Mac Applications is: Z/Applications/Crossover
Save Netica in the top directory of the
Crossover folder.
Remember: You can save your
BN files anywhere on your Mac.
If you are trying to open a BN file from
somewhere on your Mac, the path to your Desktop is:
Z/Users/YourUserName/Desktop.
Or from “My Mac Desktop”.
