Running Linux or Mac OS X and want to read and write to a NTFS volume?
Posted on 01/04/2008 at 03:58 PM Category: Technology Posted by Tim

Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003, XP, and Vista generally use NTFS for their filing system unless the Windows partition is less than 32 GB. It can then use FAT32 or NTFS. However, only Windows 2000, 2003, XP, and Vista can read and write to NTFS volumes without any additional software. If you're running a dual boot system, whether it's Windows and Linux or OS X with Windows running on a Boot Camp partition, if the Windows partition is formated with NTFS, than NTFS-3G driver just might be for you. It gives Linux and Mac OS X users full read/write access to their Windows partition. I'm running 10.5.1 and it works great.
