Ok, so I have a 1TB Seagate external drive hooked up to my Mac Book Pro, Works great with MAC OSX but I had to install Tuxera for it to function to write with the Mac OS, initially it worked great with Windows 7, after a few weeks of using it exclusively with Mac OSX I booted into Windows 7 and it says I have to format it before I can use it, just to make sure the drive was still working I booted back into Mac OSX and it works fine so whats the deal?

I did, under Mac OSX it says that it is Tuxera NTFS, but n Windows 7 it just shows a blank file system, meaning that its just blank where is should say what file system it is

To be clear, are you able to access the files under Windows 7 or not? If not, you should try saving whatever you need from the 1TB, then format the drive under windows 7. Not sure though if Tuxera NTFS is compatible with OS X.
