NTFS for MAC
In my one of my previous posts, link, I was trying to format my WD external hard drive to FAT32 so I could use it for both Windows and Mac (had a tough time doing it without good results).
It turned out that there is already an NTFS file system driver/adapter for mac. Thanks to David F, I found this link, which unfortunately is not free.
I found a few more commercial softwares, namely:
- Paragon NTFS for MAC which by the way also hides under the name "NTFS for MAC"
- Tuxera NTFS for MAC
And then I came upon this o'reilly site - link - where I came to know about NTFS-3G for MAC.
NTFS-3G for MAC is an NTFS driver would allow your mac to read and write using NTFS file system. Upon installing, I was only asked to reboot my mac and thats is.
I to plugged in my NTFS external drive and it was instantly recognized and mounted in my mac.
Moreover, looking at the Apple disk utility, NTFS-3G now appears among the choices of file system to use.
I am guessing that we can also create a partition in our MAC using this file system.

hmm maybe you could try “how to” on installing (hackintosh) MAC in eeepc 1000he or 1005ha (ASUS).. My first try was successful (eeepc 1000he only, still waiting for my 1005ha 0.0) though my wi-fi card is not working I still need to replace it to a compatible card or search for the driver. Anyways, just try it.
