NTFS in Tiger? Really? I can't get it on Leopard without using NTFS-3G
Project's OS X free-source utility. Tried the other day (writing to an
XP-formatted NTFS drive) and no go until I installed the above.
My Disk Utility will format as MS-DOS FAT but like Tiger, NTFS is not
(natively) an option. If you have it, tell me how!:-)
Very curious,
