Now what? (NTFS-G3)

Submitted by william ahearn on April 27, 2008 - 3:03pm. PowerPC Macs

Hey,

After the thread "Anyway to do this?" I installed MacFuse and NTFS-G3 so that I could write as well as read from my external USB hotdrive that was formatted to move files from a PC. After installing NTFS-G3, and restarting, I get a dialog box about how NTFS didn't load. Now I can't see the USB external at all. Doesn't mount on desktop. I trying uninstall but that dialog box does nothing. I'm using a 17-inch iMac running 10.4.11.

Anybody got a clue as to how to get NTFS off this box?

Thanks,

William

Hey there :)

I tried that little piece of software as well and was wondering how to get it off the hard drive. I found the following files on my mac:

/Library/Filesystems/fuse.fs
/System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs-3g.fs

In /System/Library/Extensions/ there is also a file "ntfs.kext", I dont know if NTSF3G changes something in that kext File ???

There are surely other files that will be installed, but these are the "obvious" ones to kill Sticking out tongue

Anybody else got some info?
