Hi,

I recently moved all my pc files to 2 external hard drives so I can use them on my macBookPro.

However I cannot write or delete any files on both of the external hard drives (I can still read the files though...).

Unfortunately, I just came across a 'post' that says Mac os X cannot write any files on NTFS formatted hard drives.

Is there any solution to this matter?

I cannot afford to reformat my external hard drives to FAT32, since I will lose all of my data.

It is ridiculous that Mac os x does not support NTFS, I just don't get why?!??!

Please help.
