puddlegum Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 AFAIK, a mac can read an NTFS drive, but it can't write to it. For writing cross platform, you'll need a FAT32 partition, but remember you'll have a 4 GB cap for file size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Easy you're not writing to a Physical drive on your machine, which does not have NTFS write privileges, you are writing to a network drive, which is shared and made READ/WRITE by the OS on that machine regardless of the OS that is linked to it!
