I guess that's just the nature of the beast with NTFS. Why do you think I try avoiding it and starting with Fat32 from the get go, if I have a say in the matter. Of corse, that won't help you any with a drive that is already well established. I'm just sayin'... Chris. - Original Mess

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

If the mac isn’t allowing you to pen files on the drive you may need to change or repair permissions. If you want to be able to save or put files on the drive you will need one of th eNTFS plug in utilities as OS X natively doesn’t support writing to NTFS drives but should read it fine. Also PT

NTFS won't work well. As mentioned, either reformat or use another drive. Thus far, I've found most thumb drives to be formatted by default as FAT32 which works fine with Mac. Given the cost, maybe have the clients spring the $30 for a 32 GB flash drive? Not unlike the old days when my clients
