You have used Boot Camp for an installation of Windows Operating System but the partitioned hard disk is not writable. Or you have bought a new external Hard disk for storage or you already have an external hard disk before and now switched to Mac, you would be facing a critical problem. The problem is you can read data from it but cannot add anything on it ,which is not the case when the same HDD is connected to a Windows based computer.The problem lies in the different formats , your Mac OS operates on a HFS+ format while your External Hard Disk has NTFS format. So it only allows you to read it but cannot manipulate any data on it. There are two solution softwares which you can use to make your NTFS format Hard disk Read/Write.
NTFS partitions.
Download Paragon NTFS for Mac® OS X (10 days trial)

But it is not a free software you have to buy it. But if you want a free method then there is a second process below.
2)Download MacFUSE-Core-10.5-1.5.1.dmg , and install the dmg image file.
Then you have to install the NTFS-3G driver which is an open source application.
So, download NTFS-3G 1.2531 and install it .The machine will now restart and then you can read/write NTFS volumes.These are Open Source softwares so they are available for free.

hey dude nice article ...this is just a suggestion :
your webpage takes a lot of time to open because of so many widgets and pictures and links and advertisements on the page ... so i guess if you could cut out on that a bit then it would become easier to open ur page ;)

Technology really has become one with our daily lives, and I am 99% certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.
