shawn3090 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well I want to format my USB drive to NTFS because it is a better file system than FAT32 or FAT16, but will a Mac read NTFS? I know they already read FAT16 and FAT32, but NTFS was made (I believe) specifically by Windows NT. [hide=Stats][/hide]"One death is a tragedy.

stevepole Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Macs can read NTFS but it can not write with the default drivers but you can google ways to write on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevepole Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ya, unfortunately FAT32 is really the only choice anyone has if they want to us a drive between the two operating systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ya, unfortunately FAT32 is really the only choice anyone has if they want to us a drive between the two operating systems. And any of the UNIX/Linux enviroments, since they use ext3 as a filesystem. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER.
