NTFS on Mac
I need to be moving sessions back and forth between m-powered on a PC and a Mac. The PC won't let me run PT on any non-NTFS drive format (ie, FAT32, which the drive came formatted as), and the Mac won't let pro-tools playback or record audio to NTFS drives.
Does anyone know of a workaround to this? Maybe some updated mac drivers I haven't found? Thanks, -Steve |

Re: NTFS on Mac
I have a similar situation, so I got a program called Macdrive...
http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ Basically allows you mount and manage HFS formatted drives on a windows machine. It runs in the system tray and has a very low memory foot print. I've had it for about a week now, so far so good. It is $50 but worth it I believe. |

Re: NTFS on Mac
I use MacDrive 7 as well on our family desktop PC so that I can go back & forth between the Windows machine and my Powerbook.
And even though you can run Macdrive where it's a background process in the system tray, I don't even go that far. When using services.msc on Windows, I just make sure the MacDrive "service" is turned on when I shut down all the other processes I don't need when recording. Runs perfectly- |
