I have a Mac+Win shared drive and I've decided to partition it using NTFS to fully take advantage of NTFS stuff on the Windows side, rather than using MacDrive.
I read the following in a Microsoft MSDN article:
Anyway, I'm going to add a FAT partition using Disk Utility, then switch over to Windows and format it as NTFS.
Just wanted to make sure that HFS+ and NTFS on the same GPT disk won't cause any problems and will play well with both OS's? The Windows installation is Win8 x64.
I read the following in a Microsoft MSDN article:
Can Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 read, write, and boot from GPT disks?
Yes, all versions can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for 64-bit editions on UEFI-based systems.
