since when does MAC not allow to move data to a hard drive

<clip> If it is NTFS formatted, only Windows can read it until Microsoft allows others to use this functionality.

Ummm.. or just install the two little pieces of free Mac software I linked to in post 12 to write to an NTFS drive. OSX can already read from it.

No problem. For installation, just run the MacFUSE installer first, then run the NTFS-3G installer and restart your system. Nothing more to it really- no configuration or anything is necessary after the installation.

Thanks for the tip! So in theory this will also let me write to my NTFS partition on my Mac's internal drive, right?

I know you're new to Apple, but please please please say "Mac". Why do people want to type MAC??? Where does that impulse come from?

It certainly should- it should write correctly to any NTFS formatted device/partition attached. The one I write to (seldom) is an internal drive in my Mac Pro.

Microsoft should have someone kick them between the legs and get going with new technologies. Comparing the efficiency of the NTFS to HFS+ filesystem is comparing a mouse to a cat er... I mean Leopard . Sooner or later, it will be caught and eaten.

There's an argument that the HFS filesystem (of which HFS+ is just a bandage) is archaic and needs to be replaced.

With what? ZFS, perhaps. Or even Ext4 (yeah, right).
