Mac OS X can read and write to NTFS with a free third party utility. All you need is MacFUSE and NTFS-3G after MacFUSE is installed. Linux ext2 filesystem can also be both read and written to using Ext2FS for MacFUSE.

I have no idea why these utilities aren’t more common, they are a Godsend when needing to access Windows and Linux data in a pinch.

You actually got the last step wrong Chris. You have to format the partition (not leave it intact). It states this in the instructions.

I really wish I had watched this before I ran boot camp, ruined my harddrive, and took it into the Apple Store to get it fixed.

Thanks anyway. <3 I’m about to try again, so I watched this video a few times first just to make sure.

Hey… I have a regular macbook (black 160 GB). I partitioned my hard drive and when i put my windows install disk in, it loads everything necessary for windows. It tells me to press the Enter key to start the Windows setup. When I do this, my macbook’s keyboard doesn’t respond…

Can someone please give me feedback!?!?!?!

the boot camp instructions say not to choose”leave the current file system intact” but to choose FAT or NTFS according to the size of ur partition

Windows XP displays “Disk Error” message during initial setup, what did I do wrong?? .in apples page >> Important: Do not use the option named “Leave the current file system intact (no changes)”.

I figured it out. It says that that will happen on occasion and when it does, this is what you have to do: Re-install if from the CD, this time choosing NOT the leave as is, yet the full format in NTFS or FAT32 (depending on if you want OSX to see and have access to the files on that partition). After this it will work fine. I did 3 after finding that out with no probs. So I imagine that that will solve your problems. Cheers and best to ya :]
