Better yet - NTFS write support is implemented in Snow Leopard, just needs to be enabled.

Can we us hackintosh users install and use Apple's BootCamp HFS drivers somehow?

Then why do these linked drivers (which were directly from the snow leopard DVD) not include write support even though the included drivers on the Snow Leopard DVD were supposed to be read/write?

Anyone know?

Not quite sure what your asking but, if you mean apples ntfs driver it is read write but needs to be enabled default is read only, you can do this by making an fstab file and specifying rw

e.g.

UUID=145BBCD2-1E6F-FF4C-9D26-E137472E67CA none ntfs rw

I mean the HFS drivers in Windows. In the link I referenced above, the user extracted the HFS drivers from the snow leopard DVD that is supposed to give Read/Write access to HFS partitions in windows, however the user reports that it only enables read access.

Quoting this article:

"First on the list of new features, the version of Boot Camp supplied with Snow Leopard will include HFS+ drivers for Windows. These drivers will allow direct read and write access to Mac-formatted drives when booted into Windows. The added convenience should eliminate the need to rely on FAT-formatted drives or third-party utilities like MacDrive for moving files between operating systems."

Your source is simply wrong.
The Bootcamp HFS driver enables read access only.

apparently, they were wrong. There were several other sites that said the same thing. Oh well. I guess that gives me my answer.

Thanks
