dransiksucks Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi, okay, my internal drives mounted and were accessable after i first installed snow leopard. I wanted to save files to my backup drive which is natively an ntfs drive... but i couldnt, it was read only. So I installed NTFS-3g with macfuse, and rebooted the computer as it told me to. Now I keep getting the errors that it is unable to mount any of my drives, including any external usb drives that i plug in. Here is the exact message I receive. NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk1s3 at /Volumes/DATA because the following problem occured: /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8). the MacFUSE file system is not available (71) Anyone know what to do??? I can live without being able to write to my drives... so i can uninstall NTFS-3G... problem is it wont let me lol...

pdave54 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Try appzapper to uninstall Have you tried to change permissions on the drives, get info unlock change read/write Macfixit had a article about changing permissions on recalcitrant drives Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/199674-snow-leopard-ep45-ud3p-drives-wont-mount/#findComment-1343394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dransiksucks Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Try appzapper to uninstallHave you tried to change permissions on the drives, get info unlock change read/write Macfixit had a article about changing permissions on recalcitrant drives the drives dont show up anymore after NTFS-3G was installed. plus when they were showing up prior to the NTFS-3G, there was no option in permissions to change it, just read only, no way to change. (Yes i know how to do it, ive done it for files that are red only and changed them to read/write for all users. ill give that program a go for the uninstall, thanks. ** just checked that program appzapper, its useless for me, because NTFS-3G does not show up in applications.

dransiksucks Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 i gave up on trying to uninstall NTFS-3G, so i went to System Preferences, clicked on the NTFS-3G, and hit disable, now i see my drives after i rebooted, they are read only... but still better than not bein able to see them at all.
