extremely roundabout way of writing to NTFS usb HDD on MacOS Lion

This is an extremely roundabout way of writing to NTFS usb HDD on MacOS Lion ...
Install Virtualbox and the extension pack (via extensions sub menu)
Install any Win OS as a virtual machine,
use USB filters to capture the USB HDD for the windows host

use local file sharing to transfer files from local disk to the USB HDD.

YMMV .... lemme know if you need details will post more later

  1. Paragon NTFS is a very good alternative if you work with NTFS drive very often. Works like a charm.
