I use NTFS-3G along with MacFUSE on my Hack running 10.5.6. It works pretty well with drives that have been already formatted by Windows, but it had a problem trying to format my data drive as NTFS. Windows doesn't know Mac formatted drives exist. Typical MS BS. http://groups.google.com/group/hq-a <+> A home for the Hackintosh community.
