I would love this solution, as my home is linux and mac only, well nearly. Why don't they make this the default? Windows users can use Gparted or the ext2fs minitools. That'll be more reliable than ACRyan's NTFS drivers. As far as i get it, the POHD2 needs the NTFS partition for its .Theatre directory, even though scanning is off. How can i disable it? Will i be able to copy to the EXT3 partition using SAMBA or USB using your solution? Did you succeed inGregiBoy suggestion?

That thread is rather inconclusive, with one mysterious succes and another mysterious fail. It's just too vague. Sadly, I don't have the time and opportunity to experiment for myself, so I can't follow up on this.

A tip on scanning btw - if you are not using it then delete the .Theater directory. It's not a mandatory requirement that it's there and the main screen refreshes a lot more quickly if it's not having to drag information out of the SQL Lite database. If you decide to use scanning again then the .Theater directory and contents will all be automatically re created by the scanning process anyway. I know I use the Mini and not the POHD, but my .Theater directory lives on a FAT32 partition, and works OK.
