Ntfs is not supported natively by Mac OS X. There used to be a FUSE project, but it's been dead for years.
Hi All,
I'm not an Apple guy so I thought I might ping fellow Pluggers who
may be familiar with Mac OS.
My son needed to provide a USB flash drive to his science teacher
so the teacher could copy several videos to the drive. The teacher
who uses an an Apple (don't know make/model) returned the drive as
"unreadable" when I know the device works fine. I gave him another
one and things worked ok. After the fact, I noticed that the "bad"
flash drive was formatted NTFS, while the one that worked was
formatted FAT32.
Can Apple OS read a USB flash drive if
it is formatted with Windows NTFS filesystem? Or must it be
formatted FAT32?
Thanks,
Peter
