I have just installed fusion and have a virtual windows machine on my minimac.
What I am thinking of doing is to take the "virtual" windows file and put it on a usb hard drive, and let Fusion work on it from that location. This will free up more space on my minimac.
When I tried to copy the "virtual windows file " that fusion made over to the usb drive, it wont go because the usb drive is formatted as NTFS.
So i am starting to learn about macfuse and NTFS 3g (and even a better version of NTFS 3g called Tuxera). Anyway, what do these programs do? I don't quite understand. Do i need both of them just to make the mac write to the usb drive?
thanks
