kaleph Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 You cant edit/create/move files on NTFS partitions. OSX only supports reading from it. If you wish to share files with a windows install, create a fat32 partition.

UnknownBadger Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 my osx will work fine on my douments drive but read only for the drive with xp installed on it. so what id say is create a small partition to swap files between the os's- if its fat32 then even better.
