yeah okay so i tried to apply a windows update to my mac book pro. fail. fail writing osloader.ntp or some such nonsense. prayers to google found the problem. windows is trying to write to a read only disk. pretty fucking cool i think. they don't try to write to cd rom style removable media. so apparently they check for that. but specifically that. and not something general and smart. like can i write to this hard drive. sheehs. the solution is to rename c:\windows\system32\drivers\applemnt.sys or something like that. reboot. now windows can't see the mac partition. so the update succeeds. crikey. and this is the best selling os in the world? niiiiice.
