[MacDV] Mounting a PC Firewire Volume?

[filipp]

Hi Matt,
The drive has probably been formatted as NTFS
file system (if youre using WindowsXP, thats the only
format that XP will allow to format to any volume bigger
than 30GB I think) and NTFS is unfortunately
not readable on MacOS 9 (I dont think its even
possible on OS X)

... thats all assuming Youre using WindowsXP.


Regards,
filipp
