Tell me more ×  Hey, One week ago I got my Macbook Air [it is
wonderful :-)] and as I desired, I installed (using Bootcamp)
Windows in addition. I am happy as it works fine and very sweet
is that I can access the Windows partition from OS X (at least
to read data, at the Moment I am trying several solutions to
have write capabilities in addition) but on the second thought
I've been surprised. Because OS X can simply read data on my
NTFS file system without getting a password or something else, i
thought it is a safe file system.  This would mean, all the data
on my Computer can be read by everybody who wants even if my OS
is protected with the best password, it is simply enough to
attach the drive to another computer and access it. I am right?
Is there a way to protect the drive?  Thanks in advance Jo

down vote accepted  That's right, NTFS won't enforce security if
you physically connect the drive to another OS or system, nor
will most filesystems
