Brad:
IÂ´ve had the same issue as you (ERROR: Write Permissions Error. (-61) on file: Untitled)
The reason seems to be that you canÂ´t write to a NTFS filesystem, and the solution is to install MacFuse (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/) and the NTFS plugin for it (http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/), then run the code found on this page.

The first time i tried this, it worked great. I did not know how to unhide it, so i looked around on the internet, played around with the terminal a bit, and now i have my Untitled drive and hidden files such as .DS_Store and .localized on my desktop and in my folders. Can anyone help with this?

I have to use a Mac at my job and it is very slowly growing on me. when I have to use Excel it really is a drag though because of the lack of functionality and familiarity with the XP version. I use a windows ready mac with an Intel processor. Do you think its faster to install XP as you suggest or use one of these Macs?

You can also ad a Dot at the beginning of your windows partition while ruing windows (mac doesn’t allow it) and “Boom” (eh steve!) you windows drive icon disappears from the desktop. Of course this does not unmount the drive and you can still access it from the left menu in fonder but this was exactly what I was looking for !!!!
