Need to Access a Mac Hard Drive ?

02/04/10 | by Troy Chollar [mail] | Categories: Resource/Misc

We live in a cross platform work environment with Windows computers and Mac computers. But they do not necessarily work together 100%.

Mac sytems do not like Windows NTFS hard drive format. They can read, but cannot write to them.

Windows systems do not like the Mac 'macdrive' format. It cannot read or write to them... And this is a problem when someone hands you a USB drive and says "My presentation is on this."


MacDrive by MediaFour is a Windows computer best friend in this situation. It seamlessly recognizes macdrive formatted hard drives and they work just as any other drive, all accessed from Windows Explorer.

Just one of those software items needed to be ready for everything.

Troy,

Interestingly the price for the boxed edition on amazon.com is lower than the download price from their website.

You are right - that is a lot less! I do like MediaFour's 2 license option for only $10 more.

I work with PowerPoint on a daily basis and I am very honored to be a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP. ThePowerPointBlog focuses on PowerPoint and multimedia development, all of which is hopefully helpful, fun, and at times entertaining. Enjoy!
