Ntfs is not supported natively by Mac OS X. There used to be a FUSE project, but it's been dead for years. Maybe use Dropbox? Eric On Aug 22, 2012, at 3:42 PM, AZ Pete wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm not an Apple guy so I thought I might ping fellow Pluggers who may be > familiar with Mac OS. > >

To mount the drive automatically, it's expecting to see a FAT32 partition. Lowest common denominator and all that. The Apple machine may also mount the drive automatically if it's formatted with HFS or HFS+, but I haven't tried that. It's probably entirely possible to mount an NTFS formatted
