Hi

I've just tried this, it appears to be working copying files from my 10.4.10 Hackintosh to WinXP harddisk. Installation couldn'd have been any easier.

Yeah, I found this site already but I don't know why this version doesn't work on my system!
asbak. could U show me how to make it work? (Do we need uninstall the older version? Do we need use any commands when install?...)
Thank you!

Hmm, hard to say because I suppose none of us have 100% identical systems. Mine is a JAS 10.4.8 PPF1 PPF2 which was updated to 10.4.9 and then to 10.4.10 with the update packages from the "usual" sources. I added the kernel from the 10.4.10 package. I also applied all the other updates from Apple's site (except of course their 10.4.x updates).

I didn't have any previous versions of MacFuse or ntfs-3g installed and my comp was in a relatively virgin state.

I installed MacFuse 0.4, then installed the package. It didn't work at first due to a permissions problem on my NTFS drive. I rebooted into WinXP, activated the XP security tab (it doesn't show up by default) and set the permissions on the folder I wanted to share to give everybody read / write access.

Rebooted back into OSX, unmounted the Winblowz drive, mounted the volume as per Daniels instructions and everything worked fine after that.

hi
I was wondering how I can find (using Applescript or the Terminal) what partition type a volume has?

eg. I would like to find out whether a Volume is HFS+ , NTFS etc formatted.. if I would be able to even find out whether it was mounted using ntfs-3g or without, that would be awesome!
Would appreciate any help!
thx in advance

Hi Guys i too am a Boot Camp User and was stuck with NTFS Probs and used the MacFUSE and NTFS-3G Packages so i wrote a little script to auto start the NTFS Read / Write when we log in works fine for me.

Heres a link to a .DMG i created it has both the MacFUSE and NTFS-3G driver plus instructions and my Terminal command Script and it's easy to follow.

Enjoy

Hi all,
I replied in another post but I think this one is most concerned.
So here are my replies for how to use NTFS-3G.

But here are the latest news I get, Check this last reply
No need of NTFS-3G and MacFUSE anymore in that case. Faster and Cleaner Volumes.
Try and please report.
Enjoy everybody.

I have tried it and it DOES NOT work. For some reason now, I cannot even see my external drive and trying to remove the application it give me and error stating:

Uninstallation Failed
"NTFS for Mac OS X 6.0 is not installed."

Do we have any solutions?

MacFUSE 1.0 is available for download. I don't know if it is as good as the NTFS for Mac Paragon solution, so go and check it out!

After MacFUSE, NTFS-3G has also been updated to 1.1004u3.

Had the same problem and I had to erase the complete HD and reinstall the OSX.
You can use the uninstaller NTFS for Mac OS X 6.0 from the NTFSforMacOSXBeta3_3.dmg.

Now I use on a OSX 10.4.7 with NTFS-3G_1.1104-ublio. after installing the last MacFuse for 10.4 from here .
You should take a look at these great works. The Ublio package with its caching is quite as fast as the Paragon stuff and it comes with some useful "enabling/disabling" scripts.

does this method work in leopard?

I am trying to change my NTFS drive's display name and am getting an error.

I am using the following the previously mentioned commands in the terminal:

sudo mkdir /Volumes/"Windows XP"
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/disk0s3 /Volumes/"Windows XP" -o default_permissions

(disk0s3 being the location given to my NTFS drive, and the said drive being unmounted during this procedure.)
The Folder 'Windows XP' gets created, but then for the second command I get this error:

sudo: ntfs-3g: command not found

Any ideas?


In addition to that I'm getting the nice little permission error, also mentioned before, stating that"

The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.

whenever I try to copy a file from my mac side to that partition.

I know that has been addressed earlier as well, but the mount code I have seems different. I know I downloaded a later, if not the latest version(s) so how might I fix that?
