Hi, I mainly use these drivers with external hard drives and have had no
major issues with any of them but I don't like installing more then one
operating system on one system as if something happens to the drive
there everything goes I have a windows system as well as a linux system
for which there are also HFSplus drivers for and for external drives
they work just fine. I can understand about being careful but then
again you can always backup things like your operating system so then if
something major happens the backup can be restored. Just passing along
what I have found out. Nick Gawronski

Just a note of caution about these NTFS drivers for Mac OS and HFS
drivers for Windows. I'm sure they work well enough for writing to
memory sticks in the event that they're not formatted as FAT32 or
other non-system drives, but a few years experience has lead me to
believe they're best avoided on a drive that's shared with your OS. I
run a dual boot setup here via Boot Camp, and even if I verify and
repair permissions habitually, I've found that having Windows write to
that partition of the drive using MacDrive as my HFS driver will
eventually make Mac OS crap the bed to the point where Disk Utility
will no longer repair permissions and the OS won't boot. Google turned
up other folks who'd had the same experience with HFSPlus, so I guess
Mac OS just isn't robust enough to handle that scenario. Nothing bad
has happened here yet when Mac OS has written sessions to my Windows
partition, but it's surely only a matter of time, and seeing as
Windows maintenance isn't anywhere near as accessible as that of Mac
OS, it's a situation best avoided.
But, for memory sticks and/or drives that only contain session data,
no problems here.
Hth someone avoid trouble

Hi, That is the one I use and both the mac to read and write NTFS and
the HFSplus for windows work great and I have had no major issues what

ah, ok. There are some apps you can get, Paragon NTFS for mac being
the first that comes to mind. Mac Fuse may also work. These are NTFS
filesystem drivers for the mac which may work, but I don't recommend
using them. They can, at times, be a little unstable. But perhaps
worth a shot.

I know I can do that, but I didn't want to have to back up a TB worth
of info to another drive before I format it. I didn't know if there
was another way to change it from read only mode.
Thanks anyway though.

I have an external drive that I used on a windows system for many
years and I want to use it on my Mac now, but it will not allow me
to move projects around from the drive to the Mac or vice versa what
do I need to do here?
Thanks
