  Open a PC formatted Drive on a Mac?

  Posted by Seth Burke on June 4, 2013 at 10:13 pm

  Is there a way to open a PC formatted External Drive on a Mac?
  There are Premiere 5.5 project files that were created using a PC, will I be able to open those as well? I have premiere 5.5 installed on my Mac.

  I did a search and found solutions for the other way around (like MacDrive from Mediafour) but none for the other way around?

  Mac Pro 10.6.8
  2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
  16 GB 1066 MHz DDR3

  Never mind, got it working. Just needed to repair disk and it mounted. Started copying, did a test, works fine! Thanks!

  Glad you got it sorted.

  Macs can read NTFS natively, but they can’t write to it. If you do want to write to an NTFS drive on a Mac, I use and recommend Tuxera NTFS [link].
