Reformat the drives to HFS (native OSX format) or FAT32 if you want to be able to read and write from both OSX and Windows. FAT32 does not allow file sizes of 4GB or larger. B. enable OSX to write to NTFS I prefer Paragon's NTFS for Mac which also provides software for Windows to read and write to HFS There is also NTFS-3G And there is also a way to enable 10.6 to write to NTFS - although not sure what limitations it may have - how to available [URL="http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090913140023382"]here[/URL]. I have not tried this either as all my NTFS drives are accessed via the network. [/QUOTE]
