I got a problem with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and Paragon NTFS for Mac 7.0.3.
NTFS for Mac installs fine, but doesn't show any available NTFS partitions in the preference pane.
But the partitions are still available in the Finder, it's just note possible to write on them.
I already tried reinstalling the program, but that didn't help...

Any Ideas?
Specs are in my sig. Thanks in advance smile.gif

I have the same problem with my DG31PR.

i think you guys gotta wait until paragon releases the next version which will most likely have native support for SL. I have no problems with ver 7.0.3 on 10.5.6 here

There is SL support in 7.0.3. But I read now that it's only supported in 32 bit mode... Damn! No possibility to write on NTFS in 64 bit except the shitty native support from Apple which does corrupt files... sad.gif

Because this gives me (and others) problems like corrupt files and inaccessible folders...

Use NTFS 3G app, free verison here ! I'm using it in no cache mode which is faster and better supported.

Cheers

P.S: Just delete the bloody paragon since many have problems with it!!!

Yeah, but the problem with NTFS-3G is:
QUOTE
System requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4/10.5/10.6 (10.6 requires that you do not use the 64-bit kernel), running on an Intel or PowerPC computer.


I want an NTFS driver that's properly working in 64-bit...
Edit: I tested it anyway, I can confirm that it does indeed NOT work

I have this problem too. I haven't found any ways to get Paragon NTFS to work on my Hackintosh Snow Leo.
It works fine on my macbook unibody pro.

paragon only works in 32 bit, so you have to use a bootflag (that's what I think, as the pref pane switches to 32bit on my MBP)
so I tried this:
write "arch=i386 -x32" (without " ") in the Boot.plist and restart or just type the string when booting and check if it works, for me it's the solution
