can anybody help me .... re my external hd is formatted using NTFS... my mac cannot read the drive? TIA -doughn
Google is your friend. I Googled: "how to read NTFS with Mac" and got this: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=how+to+read+NTFS+with+Mac&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 and found this in the list: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26288/ntfs-for-mac-os-x
thanks for the tip.. i tried NTFS-3G it still didnt work, maybe because i partitioned it into 2 parts, OSx and other my friend partitioned with NTFS... Hmmmm
OS X should be able to read NTFS. Its the writing that it cannot do without 3rd party assistance. You should at least be able to mount it. What kind of drive is it? External? If its a 2.5" HD it may lack power, sometimes the USB cable has two plugs, so you may need to plug in the two USB plugs that supply the external drive with power. If that doesn't work, plug your macbook (if thats what you are using) with its power adapter so it'll have enough juice
i'm using the same drive, and don't experience any problems reading/writing to the HD. Maybe it's because of the partitions you have. I think some people are having problems as well if they have mixed partitions.
That's a damn good question. Any PhilMUGers out there working on the SL development seed know the answer to this?
