I have found how to get NTFS drives to mount on Mac OS X 10.4.8 with read and write support.

Install the following FREE software in this order:
MacFUSE Core
MacFUSE Tools
NTFS-3G Drivers

and you'll be set.

Just an add-on... for those want install these packages, here's the direct links:

NTFS-3G For MacOSX (Latest: 1.417)

MacFUSE Tools (Latest: 0.2.5)

MacFUSE Core (Latest: 0.2.5)



P.S: It works like a charm (tested on Vista NTFS FS).

Hi,
i installed (0.2.5, 1.417) and the automount doesn't work.
in disk utility, i click to 'mount' and in the log it logs this: 'Mount of “PORTAL” succeeded'
but the driver PORTAL isn't mounted at all!
i used the terminal mounting command resulting the same: success. How can i read the error message???
how can i fix this problem?
