You can take the drive to a PC, off load the files and right click and format the drive exFAT or FAT and place the files back on, then the Mac can read it.


If you install NTFS reading software on your Mac, you will always be paying for it and it's updates, breaks your connections to the hard drive as well.


Neutral formats are best, proprietary ones that require one to pay is bad.


Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
