Hi, If you are new to the Mac, you probably do not want to do this. However, if you still feel like attempting this, you can enable the read/write to NTFS through Terminal for a particular volume. That's the free way, but if you are not careful, you could get potential problems.
I'll repost the link to my message below. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg15874.html If you do not like messing with Terminal and if you want the easier way, you can obtain a trial of Paragon NTFS from this site. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ Regards, Nic On May 9, 2010, at 7:20 PM, Courtney Curran wrote: > I did use it with Windows, so I don't know what NDFS is.
