Hi,
I've recently moved across to a mac and am hoping someone can offer some advice on it's interaction with a portable HDD.
I moved all my music and photos etc across using my portable HDD from my old windows laptop to my mac's HD. The portable HDD is formatted as NTFS and it seems because of this I cannot delete any files from it whilst it's attached to the Mac.
I've read that a program called Macfuse can overcome this, has anyone used this program and would you recommend it?
Also, ideally, I'd like to be able to use the smaller portable HDD on both my home mac and work windows machine, moving, copying, deleting files etc as I need to. Is this possible?
Thanks, Brian
