    installed paragon ntfs and was able to read and write on ntfs formatted usb drive. Attempted to format a new usb drive as ntfs using disk utility and windows machines will not recognize the drive and ask me to reformat it as a partition. please help this is an emergency, only a few hours to fix this problem. anything at all would be appreciated.

    does it have to be ntfs? Can you just format the usb from within Mac as Ms-dos and then use on Win?

    not for anything but this program is a joke. it has been randomly selecting which drives it is going to read. one second it reads an ntfs and i can write to it. i plug it it in a windows machine and it cant even read the files. plug it back into my mac and it doesn't even recognize it. why is this even available if you have bugs like that in it?
