I just got new iMac and i had an old External hard diver in NTFS formatted. I am able to read/write from that hard drive without any problem. I didn't even needed to hack the anything. I think this is typical apple hush hush. True, Snow leopard has already read and wirte access. I just got new iMac and i had an old External hard diver in NTFS formatted.

I tried using this hack to allow a Mac user to add files to an NTFS formatted external SATA drive. Very squirrely behavior showed up, including disappearing and reappearing files, and kernel panics on dismounting. I can't prove this was the cause, but I am not taking chances. Proceed with caution.

After my machine was running for a few hours, applications would start randomly locking up and become impossible to kill. I force-restarted about half a dozen times before deleting /etc/fstab. Clearly there's a reason Apple left this feature out of 10.6.0 and 10.6.1. Fair warning: When I enabled read/write on my Windows 7 partition, I started to have serious stability issues.
