[QUOTE="Peakoverload, post: 329198, member: 27271"] Tiger can read NTFS but it can't write to it. If you really need to regularly share your drive between a Mac and a PC than you only have two choices. 1. Format the drive as FAT32 and live with the file size limit 2. Format the drive as HFS+ and buy a program like MacOpener for your PC which then allows you to read and write to HFS formatted drives [/QUOTE]
