10.3: Mount and use NTFS disks natively
Nov 05, '03 09:46:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
For the longest time I was stymied by how to share large video files between my Windows and my MacOS box on an external FireWire hard drive. FAT wouldn't cut it as the file sizes were often larger than that file system allowed. Utilities for the PC to mount and read MacOS partitions often felt like kludges.
Imagine my surprise when I plugged in my external FW HD with a large NTFS partition (I just used it to back up my XP box) into my TiBook and it mounted right up! Kudos Apple!
[robg adds: I don't have an NTFS drive available; can someone confirm this works in Panther?]
