NTFS drive does not mount under Lion.

Hiya morbidcafe 🙂

You goto to open the Terminal.app application, and then follow the steps in the command line.
Please let me know - if you need any more help.

😝

please can you tell me step by step how to do it

tks in advance

Here are the things you *should* follow step by step.

1. Assuming you have ntfs-3g installed, then,
2. Go to System Preferences
3. Find ntfs-3g and macfuse.
4. Uninstall them
5. Delete the prerences options of macfuse
6. Now reboot the system.
7. Install ntfs-3g from :http://www.tuxera.com/mac/tuxerantfs_2010.12-RC.dmg
8. Install http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg[VERY IMP STEP]
9. Reboot the system.
10. Now insert your USB NTFS hard drive, and it should get mounted for read/write access.

Please note that it would give a nagging warning

NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk...

at /Volumes/.... because the following problem occurred:

Did not receive a signal within 15.000000 seconds. Exiting...

And it is fine, the read write is proper. Do not worry. Feel free to bug me, in case anything needed.

hi

and when i try to install

http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg[VERY IMP STEP]

i got this message:

help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

There is NO such thing as ufsd.fs on my system I only have an ntfs.fs in the Filesystems directory.

Can anybody help ? Removing and reinstalling NTFS-3G and MACFUSE didn't help at all.

HELP!

Hi, Is not working for me either.

Friend, what happed is that my external HDD says that is not a NTFS as yours..... mine says "Microsoft Basic Data". However when I go to DiskUtility, it says "NTFS"..... any idea?.

four me the best program i have tested out of three other.

deleting the "ufsd.fs" from the system folder also worked for me, thanks 🙂

I called Apple care and their position today is that there is NO support for NTFS in Lion, nor it will be from Mac. Third party applications they do not know. Paragon NTFS or 3G didn't work for my new MacBook Air Lion 10.7.1

(11B2118). I am new to Mac from windows and I am already thinking if I did the right thing

works perfectly.

click to open your "Macintosh HD" icon.

It works for me too...

Been have some problem to found the System/Library ...

But once I found it, and follow these step..it's done.

Thank you ..permission to blast this step for my other friend..

God Bless you..your answer helpful

copied from 'humbertog' :

1. Uninstall every NTFS Driver (Paragon, Tuxera, NTFS-3G etc.)

2. Restart computer

3. Delete /System/Library/filesystems/ufsd.fs (backup just to be safe)

4. Install any NTFS Driver, I used Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.01

5. Restart and enjoy!!!

Thank you nik pel!!

Afraid I just can't figure this one out.

I don't have "ufsd.fs" in /System/Library/filesystems/ufsd.fs but do have "udf.fs" & "ufsd_NTFS.fs"

Have tried deleting "ufsd_NTFS.fs" before & after uninstalling & then reinstalling Paragon, but to no joy - "ufsd.fs" just never appeared.

Earlier, prior to all that, I installed MacFuse, but haven't been able to find where that is to unistall it prior to uninstalling Paragon as well, but even if I did that, do you think it would still give me "ufsd.fs" to then delete etc etc?

Thanks for any help offered by anyone!

having the same problem under 10.7.2 with Paragon NTFS 9.5 I just checked with Paragon Support.

- mount the volume on a windows machine

- run "chkdsk D: /F /R" where D: ist your drive letter followed by a colon ( eg D:, K: etc)

you may run this more than once.

for me it worked after the first time.

Paragon is more picky about the filesystem than your normal OS.

worked for me.
