Hello,

I worked for hours on researching reading and writing from an NTFS drive to a mac FROM MY NEW HARDDRIVE

Now when I plug it in to the mac, I can;t even read it.... There's just a bunch of DLL , EXE, and IST files.

I;d appreciate any help. Thanks

OSX can read NTFS but not write.
with tiger and leopard (i've not try with older system)

you can install

MacFUSE
THEN
NTFS-3G

available at https://www.tuxera.com/

then you can read and write NTFS

you can download NTFS for MAC driver (last version is 7.0) and your MAC will be able read/write NTFS files.

Mac does not supports NTFS file system . it supports HFS file system. so it will support it . try to search for a software which can be use as a converter .
