DeathChill Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well, OS X automatically mounts my NTFS drives (two of 'em, 120 and 160) which is nice. However, sometimes, not all the time, it just mounts one of them which has the actual Windows install on it. It's no big deal but I was wondering why it occasionally did this.

Yeah, I'm having a similar issue on my OSX install too. In fact, my main hard drive (Tomcat1), is the only NTFS partition mounted by OSX for me, even though I have an NTFS partition on my second drive (Tomcat2) that should be detected by OSX as well, but it's not. And it gives me an error something to the effect of "Partition Not Recognizable by OSX", every time I boot into it.

And it gives me an error something to the effect of "Partition Not Recognizable by OSX", every time I boot into it. i have similar issues...as far as i can tell, it has to do with the fact that my partition that doesnt always show it is a logical partion not a primary....the primary is always mounted fine...but the logical isnt always there, dont know why but thats the only dif between the two partitions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1040-odd-mounting-of-ntfs-drives/#findComment-20581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchya Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I have the following situation: On primary master 120Gb disk0s1 - primary, active, ntfs, 8Gb - seen by osx disk0s2 - primary, reiserfs, 4Gb - not seen disk0s3 - primary, ntfs, 96Gb - not seen On primary slave 40Gb: disk1s1 - primary, active, hsf+, 8Gb - obviously seen disk1s2 - primary, fat32, 32Gb - seen, rw Tried to do something with the disk0s3 - the one I care the most to read from in osx - no luck so far. Thought about turning it into logical, but, as I see from the posts it won't help. Maybe the problem is that the partition starts too far from the beginning of the disk (eg. behind the 1024 cylinder)? Have somebody looked at Darwin/FreeBSD documentation about limitations of their ntfs driver?

einstein Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 It occurs in my system too. Somtimes it is not possible to see anything on my s-ata ntfs harddisk with windows - it is looks empty. In log is NTFS error message like 'wrong magic numebr' Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1040-odd-mounting-of-ntfs-drives/#findComment-20631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiplaya2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I got rid of my Mac OS X x86 partition, so at least I don't have to worry about this problem anymore. Hopefully someone figures it out for you guys.
