i have borrowed my friends external harddrive to copy some of files
When i connect it through usb into my macbook the hard drive appears on my desktop and shows that there is 400gb used and 100 free .
Problem is i cannot see any of these files ?
the hard drive is in windows nt filesystem .
please help me to see these files and if i change the settings to see the files i want to be able to give it back in the same way he loaned it to me!

thanks andrew

I *think* Mac OS X can read NTFS drives but I can't say what's going on here ...

Have a read of this:

How-to: Read and Write NTFS Windows Partition on Mac OS X

Does the drive not show up in Finder at all?

dooley, you may want to check this out also, maybe not if you're not having any issues with NTFS-3G, just another option

Post 36 has the link to the current beta - it has been working flawlessly for me.
