Hello there, I recently installed Hackintosh in my Pc which is i7 4790k everything was working file. I have multiple HDD. An SSD & normal HDD, I use SSD for Mac OS Hackintosh. My question is I can see windows hard drive in Hackintosh & it's detecting but I can't copy files from Mac hard drive to windows hard drive but I can able to copy files from normal hard drive to Mac hard drive. Does anyone knows how to solve this ? if yes please let me know.

no, you need to install ntfs driver to see windows drive.

Yes, because you don't have write function. You need a driver that has full read-write, like paragon ntfs.

If you want to make a "shared" drive, just make one of the partition FAT32.

macOS has built in NTFS write support but its very experimental and Apple keep it disabled because it has the potential to kill your Windows install. That said, I use it and its never caused my an issue. If you do enable it though you do so on your own.

Thanks for your response. Does this driver need hard disk format ?

no you can use the existing ntfs partition, no format needed.
