A Macintosh magic box cannot write to a hard drive formatted in Microsoft's NTFS. It can only read.
(scroll towards bottom on both pages}
To read/write on both, your best bet is FAT32.
(beware: maximum size for any single file on a FAT32 partition is 4GB)
You cannot convert from NTFS to FAT32 with any tools native to Windows or MAC. Partition Magic 7.01 has a tool for the conversion, but it's not always going to work.
Your best bet is to repartition (not reformat) the drive as FAT32.
Perhaps I've been wrong to blindly folow the medical superstitions of past centuries. Maybe we barbers should test these assumptions analytically, using a "scientific method". Maybe this could lead the way to a new age, a Renaissance! Naaaaahhh!
Help with external hardrives...
. I've had this a couple of times to at work, and when I changed my rights to read & write, it worked for me
