Reading NTFS Partions from OS X

[oligore]

I recently installed windows on a FAT32 file system but have found that windows seems to take up twice as much (as its name suggests ) as it did on my NTFS PC. I want to reinstall it on NTFS but I'm wondering if there are any apps that can read/write on to it from OS X.

os x will read NTFS without help, it just isn't able to write to NTFS.

Thanks. So that means I can copy stuff off that partion while in OS X, right?

Yes

If you really want to write to it, use MacFUSE. I've tried it before, and it works, but it's rather roundabout.

Basically, what you have to do is unmount the NTFS volume then remount it using ntfs-3g. Too much work for me, but maybe it'll be ok for you.
