magnus.o Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi! I have set up (what is for me) a perfect dual boot system with XP Pro and OSX 10.5.2. From before I have a couple of drives containing my music, software installation files and such. When booting to XP I have full access to those drives, but I have only read permissions when loggen in to OSX. How can this be fixed? Any help or suggestions are appreciated!! -M- Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113421-permission-to-write-to-old-partitions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gujal Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 if you are calling them "old" partitions, then no one can help you. However reading your mind, I can see that you are using NTFS partitions, which are Read-Only under OSX by default. Paragon NTFS software (not freeware) will let you Read-write your "OLD" partitions under OSX Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113421-permission-to-write-to-old-partitions/#findComment-803523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´ll try to install MacFuse and NTFS 3g and let you know how it went! Thanx! EDIT: @Zyan Wu: As you said, it worked perfectly!!! Thanx a whole lot!!!! :-D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113421-permission-to-write-to-old-partitions/#findComment-804023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
