Really? I wonder why mine can't write. I get denied error.
In a quick search, there is some mumbling about NTFS write being
disabled on MacOSX. Something about a few users discovering
corruption. You can change it if you want, and take your chances.
There are ways around it.
You'd think with the successful implementation on Linux,
the people at Apple would be similarly successful. I started
using NTFS read/write as of Knoppix 5.1 on Linux, and haven't
looked back. Works fine as far as I can determine here. That
might have used some flavor of NTFS-3G.
The only thing you might have to watch for, is certain files
in System Volume Information, on Vista/Win7/Win8, shouldn't be
meddled with. I had to do a restore from backup on Windows 7,
after touching the wrong thing in there. I suspect it has
something to do with VSS tracking of disk changes, but I'm
not sure about that. Normally, Windows won't let you in there
under any circumstances in the latest OS versions. But with
Linux, it's dead easy to get in there (at your peril).
