NTFS drive does not mount under Lion.

I Have the same problem, i can not mount any of my NTFS Drives on my MAC.

third party software? Paragon NTFS?

I Have the Tuxtera NTFS(2011.4.1) and is not working that all. but the problem is more on the usb hdd. i have 2 usb hdd and none are working, but the usb thumbdrive are wokring fine.

Not mounting Problem

Me too... ㅠㅠ

Jep same Problem here: Samsung 2GB "Story" NTFS@USB

Disk-Util "sees" it, but no Mount.

Temporary you can mount you drives with the command "sudo mount" on terminal... i tried and its woking.

how? please give an example.

Same problem, none of three different NTFS drives will mount under Lion.

I tried both Paragon 9 and MacFUSE+NTFS-3G without any success.

If i try to activate them with Disk Utility i get a generic error (I even tried to re-initialize one of them with disk utility but still i get the error).

First go to Apple logo on the top of the corner and clic "about this mac". then select "more info" and push the button "system report" . Then select the seccion "USB" to see where the usb hdd. like this:

we nee the BSD, in this case my usb hdd is disk1s1

we open Terminal and we type the following:

sudo mkdir /Volumes/usb1

it will ask for your password. then we type the following:

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/usb1/

and you will see on your desktop the usb hdd mounted. I hope it will help temporary.

Super! It works for reading. Is there a tweek for writing, too?

Thanks

I Try severals way and i found one...

Download and install NTFS-3G

http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g

and then restar...

insted of :

sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/usb1/

now try this

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/usb1

and now you have access to write ..... 😀😁

The thing is that this one have to be automatic... we hope that apple fix this in a couple of week..

Unfortunately, same problem here.

I have one iMac (27', late 2009, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB), one Macbook Air (11', late 2010, 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB), and two 1TB external drives formatted as Windows NT.

After upgrading both Macs' OS to Lion successfully, the two external drives cannot be mounted onto the iMac, while working fine on the Macbook Air. In the Disk Utility of the iMac, both two external drives can be still observed.

I have tried to reset the PRAM and SMC, but no luck so far.

The only difference when upgrading OS is that when the iMac was being upgraded, one of the external drive was connected.

I also tried Marco.Cantu.Gea's method, and it works. I am going to call Apple to see if they are aware of this issue.

Good luck everyone.

Great! It's working now for reading. I will try now the download link that you mentioned.

Hopefully it will work as well.

I'll let you know.

Thanks!

Oh no... This method didn't worked for me... I downloaded and installed the software but I couldn't access the HDD.

I got this message

Any idea on what could have caused this???? :S

I tried again your first instructions and I was able to access again in "only read" mode

Thank you Marco, this actually works! its a shame I need to do all over again everytime I connect a NTFS disk, BTW did you know the command to use Paragon or Tuxera instead NTFS-3G? I try to use:

"sudo mount -t ntfs-tuxera /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/usb1" but its not working.

Thanks again!
