amdmatt Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 ok i have two ntfs partitions on my drive one that has windows xp pro and one that is for storage i have ntfs-3g installed and they are mounted correctly with the file system as ntfs-3g it says under permissions on the get info window that it is read/write but there is no details dropdown when ever i try to copy any file to these drives it gives me the error "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficiant privilages for some of the items" i know the files im trying to move dont have the problem because they can be moved all over my mac partition.. (hfs+) but on the ntfs drive i can create and rename folders and rename files currently on it.. however if i go through the terminal and login with "sudo -s" and do "cp -r 'mac file' 'ntfs drive'" it copys perfect.. whats am i doing wrong?!? thanks!

These packages are simply the latest driver release. That's what I meant. So if you experienced some problems, installing the latest files could help.

BJMoose Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 What install disk did you use for your OS? NTFS-3G is an option on uphuck's disks and it install everything perfectly. You might try going back and installing just that from the installation disk and see if that solves your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any problems at all. I tell people all the time to just experiment because what works perfectly on my system may not on yours. That dmg problem has never affected my system even in the early days of NTFS-3G. I suspect there were other issues involved within the systems that were affected.
