Accessing Windows partition from Mac OSX and vice versa?

Maccy · 17 Feb 2008 at 12:21

I can view the Windows partition from Leopard but all files are locked and I can't drag anything onto the drive :confused:

Also, I can't see the Mac OSX partition from Windows which is pretty annoying!

Is there a plugin I need for this?

AFAIK there are two ways.

Paragon or NTFS-G3.

Paragon will cost you $30 while NTFS-G3 is open source but G3 will require a bit of extra technical savvy to quote the website I've just googled.

*edit* As for the other way around try

TransMac, MacDrive or HFS Explorer. The last one is free but uses Java to explore the disk.

I Personally use Paragon NTFS and so far its great worth the $30 imo.

I was using NTFS-3G on tiger before I put leopard on and had no problems with it

altho I've not put it onto leopard as I just use USB storage for cross-platform copying.

Can I get a trial of Paragon before going ahead and buying it?

Yes you can i originally had the trial then purchased a valid licence key for the full version, if you goto the website, then you can download the trial and install it
