I'm running mp3tag app on a Mac OS X. My musics are on my second hd and I can't access these files. I already tried creating a shortcut on my main hd but it didn't work out. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks ---

You have to make sure that the second hd is visible for the app. Also, you have to set the access rights so that the folders are accessible. ---

The access rights we're already right. But I don't know how to make sure that the second hd is visible for the app, can you walk me through, please? ---

So you have to consult the Apple help to find out how to attach another drive in such a way that it is treated like a built in one. ---

> [@ohrenkino](#): > > No, sorry, no idea. Windows only. > So you have to consult the Apple help to find out how to attach another drive in such a way that it is treated like a built in one. I see. I think it's already like a built in one, because I had put it in the place of my CD drive and it's connected to the SATA cable. I'm not sure, but maybe the problem is with the Wine app. I already looked on the configs trying to find something that may help, but nothing. Anyway, thanks again for your help and sorry for the english. ---

After searching for a while, I discovered the solution: the externals HD are under Z:\volumes So easy! Thanks ohrenkino! ---
