Reading NTFS hard disks

Hi, from today i can't read hard disks formatted by windows (NTFS) (only read, not write). I can't see also in the utility disk, it is very strange!

Someone knows this trouble?

OS X never has been able to write NTFS disks by default. You must have updated & now the software no longer works.


You should work out how you originally added write support & address that, check for updates to your third party software or reinstall them.


There are several options such as OS X Fuse & a filesystem NTFS plugin…

Or one of these other options
