yoursagentsmith Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi friends I noticed a strange thing: I have two NTFS partition on two different drives. One is mounted with "NTFS-3g (MacFUSE)", has a network share icon and it works perfectly. The other one has a hard disk icon, and mounted as "Windows NT Filesystem". With this partition files and folders names are shown without icons or sizes, and when you click on a (known to be) directory, it disappears. How can I tell the system to mount this partition with NTFS3g+ MacFUSE? I'm using 1.0.4.9 Uphuck v1.3 image.

Sudar Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Maybe this page holds the answer.. http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#plugandplay Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/54353-ntfs-partition-strange-behavior/#findComment-388515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoursagentsmith Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi Sudar thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this isn't an external hard drive. Anyway could it be related to orange/purple sata ports on Gigabyte DS3 motherboard? But if this is the case, the hd shouldn't be found... I try to run chkdsk on windows...

yoursagentsmith Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 CHKDSK on Windows worked: now the faulted partition is mounted like the other one (with network share icon). Too bad that I have to change active partition to load Win or Mac.. I'm afraid to install a boot manager..

frizbot Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Honestly, I'm not interested in playing with NTFS on OS X. It just seems dangerous to data and reliability.

yoursagentsmith Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 yes I understand your point of view, but it's a must when you are transitioning from Windows... and NTFS-3G has passed the 1.0 milestone long ago, it should be reliable if many major linux distro include it...
