After looking at the NTFS drive after installing it in a PC, I saw that some OS 10 files, such as .trashes, had been written to it.
Is there anyone else with an NTFS drive and a vanilla installation of Tiger (with no special utilities) who can verify that Tiger can indeed write to it? >From reading other forums, I get the idea that Tiger can do some writing to an NTFS drive, but it's not necessarily safe, especially if you try to do a lot of it. Problems with things like user rights on the files. Interestingly, I read something that claimed that Windows 2000 can write to HFS+ drives, even though XP can't. Gives me another reason to feel smart for sticking with 2000 on PC's. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
