But when two or more NTFS partitions are mounted (e.g. NTFS partition of internal disk and external NTFS disk, or two NTFS partitions on internal disk) then only administrator users on windows machines has write access to files or folders that were written on Mac machine. Mar 27, 2011 Now I'm using on my mac NTFS-3G, freely downloadable from web and it's working fine. Read/write it's fully supported and the dismounting is user friendly. Before i tried the native r/w support, but the file's MFT record will corrupted in a couple of hours.

Hi Brandon,Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.I understand your concern and frustration you have been through. I will be glad to assist you.By default, Windows provides the option to format a USB flash drive with FAT or FAT32 file systems only, but not with NTFS (New Technology File System.)The reason behind this is that there are some disadvantages of NTFS usage in this case.
First of all, the speed of saving on the flash drive decreases (but the speed of reading data from the drive is the same), and you have to be more careful to always removethe USB flash drive safely.However, you can still format the Flash Drive in the NTFS format. Follow these steps for the same.1. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port.2. Press Windows Key + R, type devmgmt.msc in the Search textbox and press Enter.3.
Find Disk Drives and expand it.4. Find the USB flash drive you want to format, and double-click it. It opens the Properties dialog box.5. Click Policies tab.6. By default, the Optimize for quick removal option selected, switch it to Optimize for performance and then pressOK.7. Now open Computer.
Right click on the USB Flash Drive and select Format. The Format dialog box now appears.8.
Select NTFS in the File System field.9. Press Start and wait while the process will be completed.10. Now your USB Flash Drive is formatted with NTFS format.If you wish to format external hard drive in exFAT follow the steps below.1. Right click on start and select Command Prompt (Admin).2. Type format g: /FS:exFAT and then Enter to begin formatting the G drive as exFATHope it helps.
