smorf Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Hi All, I´m back with my new hackintosh and I got almost everything working. During the setup and handling all the kexts, clover and so on i stumbled across a EFI driver called NTFS-64.efi. I put it in my clover directory (EFI partition, /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/NTFS-64.efi ) but obviously it does not do the trick. I don´t want to use paragon or similar software. When I connect a USB HDD with NTFS it only gets mounted as readable, no write access. Same with some kexts in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other, they just didn´t load, so i installed them in /Library/Extentions. General question: What did I do wrong? How do i get kext/efi files loaded from my efi clover folder? I appreciate every hint or help. Thanks! smorf Edited January 30, 2019 by smorf Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/337432-loading-driverskexts-in-efi-or-how-do-i-enable-rw-access-to-ntfs-drives-without-commercial-software/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
matgeo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 ntfs.efi is just for clover to recognise ntfs drives at boot. Not for gaining writing capabilities at them. There are some ways for mounting ntfs drives for writing (even macos has it's own) but they are unreliable. For me , best solution with no problems so far is Paragon NTFS.

jpz4085 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi @smorf, If you or anyone else is still interested I've recently posted a guide in the Tutorials section on how to use the native Mac NTFS read/write capability that @matgeo mentions above. It's effective for temporary access if that's all you need and I've not experienced corruption issues.
