Another solution for dealing with MAC/PC hard drive issues
Of late I've written about workign corss-platform and dealign with hard drive format issues of Read/Write permissions between NTFS and HFS+. The freeware HFS Xplorer is one solution which allows for Windows computers to access and copy files from Mac HFS+ format hard drives. It works very well but if you?re willing to cough up a few bucks there is a better solution available.
NTFS for Mac by Paragon software will set you back about $45 and when installed allows for a Mac to natively read AND write to NTFS formatted hard drives. So you can format your external hard drive as NTFS for PC and then be able to work with it natively on your Mac as well Windows machines. If you need to work cross-platform and particularly if you?re using Bootcamp this is a great solution at a bargain price.
