Just a matter of following the simple procedures below: 1. Download and Install MacFuse <http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/> from Google. http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ (Restart System or Logout/Login) 2. Download and Install NTFS-3G <http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/>from Erik Larsson's Blog. http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ (Restart System) 3. Both are System Preference Panes so make sure they are enabled. Now your Mac will be able to natively read/write to NTFS drives. I hope this helps!
