Need to mount Bootcamp what is the alternative since I cannot repair, erase or mount bootcamp from disk utilities?

I have the same problem. Please, help us!

How we can delete this message?

I have the exact same problem too.

NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk0s4 at /Volumes/Windows HD

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

I got the fusefs.kext failed to load message earlier, downloaded and installed a Macfuse application, and now I get the above error.

The windows partition would sometimes load, other times doesn't load, but it will always give the above error message.

Help appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem when start up...even when im using osx lion, not the bootcamp partition

same problem... how to solve it?!?!?

I tried Disk Utility --> First Aid and Tried to mount the bootcamp ... and now I am able to mount the bootcamp but I'm still getting the error message

Any Update ?

I am having the same problem as the first poster, but my problem is actually with an external hard disk. It used to work great prior to the Lion upgrade - now I am not able to access the drive through my Mac which is quite maddening as i have a lot of saved work on it. The drive works fine in the windows partition and on other non-lion systems.

Found a way, many of you wouldn't like it,

You will have to BUY a program called Tuxera NTFS. It works just fine with the OSX Lion. I know this cause I tried the trial version and it works just fine.

Wish this helped. I also have the same problem.

This is the latest unofficial MacFuse release: http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse/MacFUSE-Tuxera-2.2.dmg.

It will solve the "fusefs.kext failed to load" problem, and as mentioned by alexhung, it still shows the "Did not receive a signal within 15.000000 seconds", but will allow to mount your volumes.

Without getting too technical, MacFuse is a package needed to understand the storage structure of files and directories (FAT32, NTFS on Windows; ext3, ext4 on Linux) which are not supported by default on Mac OS X (which uses HFS+).

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Does anyobody know how to get rid of this message? I'm not fussed about mouting my Windows HD, I would just like for that error message to go away.

I've tried removing every file seemingly related to NTSF-3G / MacFUSE from my HD / preferences / library but I still get the error message.

Thanks !

Ok, just replying to myself. Problem sorted.

I re-installed NTFS-3G, then used the 'uninstall' function from the prefpane (instead of deleting the prefpane altogether like I did the first time).

Then I had to delete the MacFUSE prefpane manually.

Reboot / joy.

Hi guys, I am new here but I think I have found a solution (it worked for me), without having to uninstall Macfuse or NTFS-3g.

This also solved the problem of Bootcamp partition not appearing in the System Pref. > Initialization Disk.

A. Supposing you have MacFuse and NTFS-3G installed, go to System Pref. > NTFS-3G control pane and under MOUNTED VOLUME OPTIONS you will see BootCamp in the list. Check the box ˜Disable NTFS-3G for this volume˜.

B. In case the BootCamp doesn't show in the list, mount it using the DiskUtility first. Then go to step A.

I suspect the problem is a conflict between NTFS-3G trying to mount it and Apple's OS mounting it.

C. You don't even need to re-boot. BootCamp will now appear in the options of the Initialization Disk.

🙂

i found the solution 😎

reinstall MacFUSE and NTFS-3G

and go to this link : http://macinformers.com/how-to-NTFS-3G-support-for-macosx-lion/

follow the steps

and everything will be fine

The reason this doesn't work is because MacFUSE is 32-bit only. I have a 64-bit mac too, so MacFUSE didn't work for me. I found this article here. It tells you how to install NTFS-3g with fuse4x, not MacFUSE. It offers you two ways: to use tuxera or fuse4x. You want the second one, fuse4x, which is towards the end of the article.

forget about macfuse - use its successor osxfuse

these versions are working fine for me on Mountain Lion right now :

install osxfuse (current 2.5.0)

(not macfuse which is no longer maintained)

https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/downloads

install ntfs-3g (most recent binary 2010.10.2)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/catacombae/

free version old-ish but ok-ish (gives an ignorable but annoying warning

"Did not receive a signal within 15.000000 seconds." on every mount ).

the workaround for the warning works for me as well
