sell the mac and buy a better spec'd laptop?
I've heard a £220 HDMI lead will fix that
Pah..skimping.
My £1K cable has a better class of 1s and 0s.
It's because it's NTFS, you can read it but cannot write.
If you want to write to NTFS, then download and install macfuse and you'll be able to mount it rw.

Right downloaded it and installed.... cant find the program any were
You won't because it's a command line system for doing the fs mounting.
If you want to mount stuff via a gui, then install this:

We must remember that i havent got a clue what to do here....wtf is gui ?
something you see!
macfuse is driver which provides os x with extra filing systems. it's clever because it's basically a set of plugins that run at application level, which makes them a doddle to write and debug.
Once you've installed macfuse, it knows how to mount new filing systems. However, you still have to do it by hand (in a terminal).
Macfusion is a "frontend" for this so hides all the techinical stuff away from you. Once you've downloaded macfusion, copy it to your application folder and run it.
Once it's running, you'll see a new icon on your menu bar and you'll be able to mount your drive in r/w mode.

Actually, once you've installed that you can run the enable script that is included in the install dmg and that will use this driver everytime you plug in an NTFS drive.
It will appear exactly as before, except you'll be able to write to it.
No need for macfusion.
