10.4: An overview of NTFS support in Tiger
Great summary. Two comments:
10.4: An overview of NTFS support in Tiger
Writing to NTFS has plagued linux users for some time now as the file system is almost entirely proprietary. There are a few programs for a linux that can write to NTFS using the Windows dll driver, but this would not work on Mac (unless it could be recompiled for ppc or support could be added for Intel Macs with some kind of Wine support installed).

Windows does not have a max partition size on FAT32 av 32GB! FAT16 has got a max limit, but FAT32 does NOT!

Nobody said the volume format had a size limitation - what was stated is Windows XP imposes an artificial 32GB limit, which is true. They want you to use NTFS, period.

Windows XP built in utility limits 32GB FAT32 formatting, not the OS, just use Partition Magic.

That's exactly what I meant when I said "Windows XP limits the maximum partition size to 32GB when formatting". Sure, you could spend $70 on PartitionMagic, but the whole point of this thread is that the drive is going to be going back and forth between Mac and PC. The Mac will do the job without additional software. |
