macos - A free utility for NTFS writing on Mac OS X 10.6.5?






Coming from Windows (Vista/7), I have a few NTFS formatted Hard Drives.


Are there any programs to make OS X write to NTFS?


Do I have any options aside from installing Windows via Boot Camp and reformatting?


Answer



Yes. NTFS-3G. You will need to do a bit of hunting to find the free and open source NTFS-3G as opposed to the commercial Tuxera NTFS, which they will quite cheerfully sell you. The latest link at time of writing is on that page under "NTFS-3G for Mac OS X 2010.5.22". I'm not sure if NTFS-3G includes it, but you may also need to install MacFUSE.
