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.

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! SticMAC ..then i dont understand how can i write/paste something on my HDD with NTFS partittion which is on network.
