[QUOTE="elusive, post: 989973, member: 78352"] hello everybody, I own a macbook with snow leopard and I am facing a problem with an external hard drive that I bought recently. It's a MyPassport SE 1TB. The drive was initially formated in NTFS but as I have Paragon NTFS I had full support from the beggining and also the software that comes with the drive is totally mac compatible. The problems started when I partitioned the disk in order to have one partition for the time machine (formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) and the other for files ( NTFS ). After this conversion, whenever I try to copy a folder with movies to the NTFS partition I get an (Error code -36) message saying that the file can not be written.. Of course I don't have the same problem when I copy the folder to the other partition but the wierd thing is that nor did I have it when I first bought the drive.. I change the Paragon with the NTFS3G but no results.. I could really use some help from the experts because I run out of alternatives... thank you very much for your help guys! [/QUOTE]
