The last I heard, FreeBSD only reads NTFS. Of course that can change. I also don't know if there any ports that will write NTFS, but maybe. I have a couple of dual booted systems in which the MS part is in NTFS. What I did with those is create another few GB slice in between the MS and FreeBSD that is FAT32 which both can read AND write and then use that slice to transfer data. Sort of inconvenient, but it works. eg. so my slices are: 1 - Hardware vendor diagnostics that came with the box. 2 - MS-XP in NTFS 3 - FAT32 slice 4 - FreeBSD I could get rid of that hardware diagnostic slice, of course, but I have actually found it useful a couple of times and it doesn't take up much space and I didn't need the other slice designation for anything. On a third system I used a utility to convert the NTFS to FAT32. That has some size limitation, though. Of course, I don't give over an more space to MS than I need to anyway... ////jerry > > TFC > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
