Format a NTFS hard drive in 10.3 - NOT
You didn't format it as NTFS if you used Disk Utility. Unless you chose a Mac /Unix format, you formated it as FAT32 (there is a world of difference).

Maybe you should read a hint twice before you decide to comment on it.
1.) He never said that he formatted it as NTFS. He said that it was already NTFS, and he wanted to format it. Disk Utility won't let you format a volume that's already NTFS. It will, however, let you format the disk using the method he described. 2.) He didn't boot up from an install disk. He was about to, but he tried this solution first.

Sorry, I thought we were speaking *English* here. "Format a NTFS hard drive" means that you're going to end up with a NTFS hard drive. "Reformat a NTFS hard drive" means the format will be whatever you are capable of choosing.

I am the original poster of this hint. I see now how the title could have been confusing or misleading. Perhaps I should have called it "DE-format an NTSF hard drive in 10.3.

"Great, at least 3 people have posted here that they were confused about what the title meant. I'm the first to point it out, get called idiotic, and now called ignorant by you, and somehow I'm the rude one."

-- Arbitrary; the hint is completely unrelated to which format the poster needed the drive in, all the matters is that the format itself was unavailable.

Ok, I would let this slide if, in addition to being an idiot, you didn't behave like an asshole.

I was confused by the hint's intent also. Was the drive finally to go back inside Windows box or for Mac?

Just one more comment here to clarify.

The point is that the title leads one to expect an article about how to put an NTFS file system on a disk using Mac OS X. You can argue as much as you like that technically that is not what the title says, but the fact is that I and probably lots of other people clicked on the link expecting to be shown how to create an NTFS file system on Mac OS X.
