gugin Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I followed the guide to make an internal sata ntfs hd r/w and now I when I open it in finder it shows nothing! No folders or files, but shows 0 items and 2.5 gb availabe. The 2.5 gb is correct. The 320 gb drive is full--0 items IS NOT CORRECT. Help please.

tokyovigilante Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Does it work in Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srs5694 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 If you're talking about the instructions to enable Apple's own R/W support for NTFS, then I've seen a claim that this support is buggy. Thus, I recommend reversing those settings, shutting down, and checking the disk in Windows. If you really need R/W support to this volume, you might try NTFS-3g or Paragon; it's conceivable they'll do a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might need one, if you're going to muck round with NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilar Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I had the same problem with snow and had to chkdisk and repair the disks (3 in total) in windows. I then removed the fstab lines I created and will install ntfs-3g(even though I had minor issues in leopard with it as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
