user555 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 well the topic pretty much explains it.... i have ntfs formatted hard drives and no matter what i do i cannot unlock them i tried all of those steps of get info chflags nouchg and that other simple command stuff but it still comes out to be Read only file system and it wont do a single thing. is there a solution to this? before i was using linux and had ntfs partitions for use of my psds music files etc.... it would be nice to be able to delete and to write to my hard drive... serial ata...

newflesh Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Did you try with ntfs-3g and macfuse ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137720-cant-unlock-ntfs-partition/#findComment-974730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
user555 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 no i have not actually... but i have tried stuff like EXTFSManager for linux partitions and well it gives the error of "You cannot open ExtFSManager preferences because it doesn't work on an intel-based Mac" and yes im running amd.. but i suppose i can try those hopefully they will work.... do you have links ? i suppose google would be appropriate.

Goz Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Paragon NTFS is smoother than MacFUse + NTFS-3G and it supports large NTFS partitions.

user555 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 well i was just using MacFUse and it worked just fine when it unlocked folders i rearranged everything and made everything perfect, then watched a movie late lastnight on the drive then turned off monitor and went to sleep then when i came back i turned monitor on and the computer would not turn on then when i rebooted folders were missing out of the drive and i still cant find them... i think macfuse might have deleted them from the ntfs partition.... ???
