OSXLion Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 in order to access each others file system you need macdrive for windows (HTFS+ driver) and macfuse/ntfs-3g for mac. Get MacFuse here: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ NTFS-3G here (use the ublio release, it is a lot faster): http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ Install both, reboot and be happy to read/write to all NTFS partitions. Get macdrive for windows if you need it the other way around as well. best Lion Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126204-dual-booting-mac-kalyway-1054-and-vista-can-i-movie-files-from-one-to-the-other/#findComment-892162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gujal Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 On OSX, by default it can read (not write) NTFS Partitions (as used by Windows) If you want to write to NTFS Partitions from within OSX, you need MacFuse+NTFS-3G as per OSXLion's post above From Windows, if you want to read/write into Mac Partition you need MacDrive which is commercial software not free However if you only want to read OSX partition from Windows, you can use HFSExplorer which is free.
