Hi, Just to correct something. You can actually enable Mac native write and read support to NTFS partitions by enabling it through Terminal. No extra software is required to do this. However, if the disk is ever ejected, this permission will be reversed and you will have to enable it again. As long as you can actually see your bootcamp partition on the Mac, however, you'll be fine. It's a longer process, and I probably wouldn't recommend doing it if you are not comfortable using Terminal and command line interfaces. Also, if you have third-party drivers which will enable read/write support, it is recommended to uninstall them. I'm assuming you do not, though, but for anyone else who wants to attempt doing this.
I'll paste in the link to the post I wrote to Macvisionaries a few months ago. Sadly, it messed up my pretty formatting. :( Here you go anyway. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg15874.html Regards, Nic Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: [email protected] AIM: cincinster yahoo Messenger: cin368 Facebook Profile My Twitter On Mar 18, 2010, at 4:00 AM, Jonathan C.
