Mac OS X has had support for reading NTFS formatted disk for a few versions, but still doesn't have write support. There are a few third-party products that allow Mac OS X to read NTFS formatted drives but as far as I'm aware the free ones aren't as well maintained as the commercial ones. I'd love for someone to tell me differently.

They give you stickers! Hey all I got a Seagate External Hard Drive so I can back up my first laptop which runs on Windows Vista- yes, I know it's the worst operating system but it's a long story as to why I am still using it. Steam do i need to buy separate version for mac os 10.

I am planning to get a Macbook next month and would like to eventually back that up onto the drive as well. I would like to format it to be fully compatible with Mac as well from the get-go before transferring anything at all since formatting it erases everything from the drive Since I don't have a Mac right now, is it possible to format this drive for both operating systems using Windows Vista? The steps I found online for Vista weren't very helpful at all since I heard using 'partition' is particularly helpful and that step isn't available for the Vista section: I went so far as to the 'format' step for the drive but wasn't sure if I should just format it to eXFat for it to work for both or follow these steps below.The author recommends that we do it on PC first, but the steps seem like they are for Macs. So confused: 'The optimum choice is to format it ExFAT, but do so on the PC, not the Mac. Alternatively, you can make two partitions - one for the Mac; one for the PC. Partition the drive using GUID when you make the two partitions.
