Windows Partition Locked in Mac OS X?

[ktalebian]

Hi there,
for some reason, I cannot modify the file of my Windows in my Mac OS X 10.5.4. Why??

Thanks

Are you trying to modify your Windows partition from within the OS X desktop?

If so, is your Windows partition formatted with NTFS? OS X can only read NTFS. It cannot write or modify it. You need to get a third-party program that will allow you to write/modify NTFS from within OS X.

It is in NTFS, and I want to be able to move files from OS X to the folder, and delete files.
So what are the third party applications that work?? Thanks!

I guess the cheapest way is to buy a memory stick, make sure it is FAT 32 formatted, copy files onto stick in MacOS X, copy them back in Windows...

Naa, I want to be able to just simply drag and drop files directly!

You can copy files from the Windows partition back to the Mac OS X partition already, if you want to go the other way you'll have to buy a solution for Mac OS X or for Windows depending on which you use more often.

What and be lumbered with a old & fuddy file system that has limitations, OP what your after is either paragon ( not free ) or MacFuse with NTFS-3G ( free )
