[Avid-L2] Re: one NTFS drive not read by Mac, but another one is?

IF NTFS is okay, it mounts on a Mac, if it's not it will porbably not mount. From my experience only in rare cases it is a problem with access rights or chip sets or whatever.

A new window opens and now check the box automatically repair file system errors and run the test.
