[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 635654, member: 38864"] Ouchie... well given your experience with Paragon's solution, I'd be inclined to suggest the OP stick with the NTFS-3G solution. Actually... better yet... since this drive is supposed to be shared between two separate computers, why not just leave it attached to the Mac, leave both partitions formatted in HFS+, and enable a file sharing option to network the computers together? That will eliminate any problem with one OS or the other working with a file system that is not native to itself. I had some odd reason for suggesting it the way I did... durned if I can recall why now. *shrug* Chalk it all up to lack of sleep. [/QUOTE]
