Full read-write access granted!

FAT32 has some serious limitations–individual files can only be up to 4GB in size each, for example–but exFAT doesn’t. Rather than use a Mac-formatted drive, you should get the important files off of it and use exFAT-formatted drives for moving data between Macs and PCs. If you are using a Mac OS and would like more information on how to properly format your microSD card click here. For optimal performance with Amcrest devices, a microSD card must class 10 or above and be properly formatted to FAT32. FAT32 (File Allocation Table) is a derivative of the file allocation table (FAT) file system. This program allows MacOSX to access Microsoft NTFS formatted harddrives connected by USB port. A modified version of the original Linux code, this program is packaged as a easy-to-use installer so that normal users can install it without hassle.

Microsoft NTFS is one of the primary file systems of Windows. If you work on a Mac computer and need to read or write files from HDD, SSD or a flash drive formatted under Windows, you need Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software.

Write files to Microsoft NTFS drives on your Mac

• Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software is a great upgrade to an exceptional cross-platform utility that’s easily worth the money, especially if you own the previous version 14, in which case this one’s free.
  The user interface is tastefully designed, with buttons for mounting, unmounting, verifying, or erasing the selected volume. Dual-boot users also have the option to reboot into a compatible mounted Mac or Windows startup volume. There’s even a lovely color-coded space indicator like the one introduced with Mac OS X El Capitan, displaying content by Audio, Video, Apps, Images, and Other categories.

• A very specialized product that does its job in a very unobtrusive way. You just install it and it works. When you plug an NTFS disk into your Mac, it just mounts on the desktop like any other disk, and when you copy a file to it, it just works, no muss, no fuss. This utility is also invaluable if you find yourself in a situation where you need to format a disk as NTFS, and it performs this task with an equal lack of drama

I’ve always had a headache with NTFS drivers etc. I bought and downloaded your Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software today and WOW. Amazing. Everything just works. Brilliant product.

• It is pretty fast with NTFS transfers (slightly slower than OSX extended partitions obviously) and I’ve never had any problems mid-transfer or anything. For me, it’s always done what it said on the box, and now with V14 it’s got El Capitan compatibility, so no complaints here. If you’re looking for a way to have plug-and-play NTFS drives on your mac, there really isn’t a better alternative to Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software. Highly recommended for all Mac users!

• If you have a Mac and you need to access volumes that are formatted NTFS, this is the best solution out there. Why Apple hasn’t just baked in support for NTFS after all these years still remains a mystery. I’ve been using Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software for several years now and have never had any problems with it.

Fat32 Driver For Mac

Fat32 Reader For Mac Free

(In fact, there's a minor problem with reading CompactFlash cards from EPOC machines such as Psions, but I have a workaround, and I believe this will be fixed in 10.3.)

Even in OS 9 I can see my NEO drive, when hooked to the right firewire enclosure, and that's also a FAT32 drive.
The extra directories that the mac writes are quite annoying in that setting, since they get written to the top of the drive, and clutter up your mp3 folders. I've been thinking about using terminal to delete them, next time I update the neo.
The neo is a really cool mp3 player for your car, btw, check it out at ssiamerica.com. The mac support is a little iffy, but you can make it work.

Since Mac 10.x is based on FreeBSD, it embraces the SMB protocols. If you were switching to a PC, you could use a crossover cable or a more proper network to just mount a Windows-formatted drive using
'Connect to Server'. Macs can read PC disks and so forth, but not vice versa; if you buy a PC-formatted Zip100 disk, you can use it back and forth between Mac and PC provided you delete the .trash files on it. You could also set up a VPN and run Windows boxes remotely. For more info, check out samba.org and google VPN.

One point made to me by my friends was that if you want an external
firewire/USB drive to be readable and writeable under MacOSX, Linux, and
Windows NT/2000/others, the firewire drive should be formatted as
FAT32. I don't believe any other filesystem format allows the
ability to read and write from all three operating systems.
One thing to note is that I wasn't able to format FAT32 partitions
of larger than ~30GB (at least under Windows 2000), so I had to
break an 80gB drive into 30gB/30gB/20gB sized partitions under Windows 2000
before I could format them. But once I partitioned the drive
and formatted the partitions, I could plug the drive
into my TiBook and see all the FAT32 partitions, and write to them.

You need to install the latest service packs for windows 2000 then you can very large hard drive partitions (greater than 30GB).

This is simply not true. Windows 2000 and Windows XP won't let you format a drive using FAT 32 if it's larger than 30gigs because Microsoft wants you to use NTFS. If you format the drive using Windows 98 or even a Windows 2000/XP installation cd, your Windows 2000/XP will read the drive just fine. Microsoft decided to implement this arbitrary limit to try to get people to migrate to NTFS to make it harder for people to leave windows, and to mitigate problems with FAT32.
Suggestions for formatting a large FAT32 drive:
1) Use linux to format the drive.
2) Try Partition Magic or similar product, some of these have arbitrary limits as well, but usually larger than your average Windows OS.
3) Use Windows 98 with an updated service pack.
4) Use your Windows 2000/XP install cd and pretend to install Windows on the hard drive, it will ask you to format the drive and it will let you choose fat32 even for large devices.
Some interesting tips on using large firewire drives. DO NOT try to connect to a Mac OS 10.1 machine! For some odd reason my 100gig firewire drive cannot be understood by OS 10.1 but Jaguar (10.2) works just fine. At first I thought it was my drive, but it's a generic housing and putting smaller ~20gig drives in it works just fine.
Also trying to connect my titanium powerbook as an external firewire drive to a 10.1 desktop fails miserably (hold the T button down while booting your laptop to make it act as an external firewire device). But when I updated my desktops to Jaguar suddenly my laptop and my 100gig firewire drive worked just fine. I think there is a bug with large external firewire drives connecting to OS 10.1
Joseph Elwell.

The limit for a FAT32 partition is 2 terabytes under Windows 9x OS's. The maximum size that can be used under Windows 2000 is 32 gigabytes (This is a limitiation of the file system driver for Windows 2000). Windows XP can only format a FAT32 partition up to 32 gigabytes at the time it is installed, but once up and running the maximum size it will format is 2 terabytes.
So if you want to interoperate with a 2k box, 32 gigabytes is the limit.
The maximum size for a single file on a FAT32 partition is 4 gigabytes.
NTFS has a maximum partition size and file size of 16 exabytes.

In PANTHER how do you mount the disk for write enable??
Thank you
