Native NTFS support in Snow Leopard

[Deleted member 651465]

Hey all,

I've got a Sandisk USB drive (64GB) that I use for work backups. The drive is formatted in NTFS because some files and installation backups are over 4GB. Anyway, I need to connect the drive to my Mac and move some files / transfer new files on.

I've read the guides on how to enable native NTFS support using Terminal, and done all that, but when I mount the drive I still get read only access.

Does anyone have a known working guide?

Thanks

Agreed, I had a few kernel panics whilst using the native NTFS driver. It wasn't long before I reversed the changes! This was on a brand new 10.6.6 installation, too.

For speed, go with Tuxera (the commercial version of NTFS-3G). Super fast and super stable

If you're still certain you want to use the native driver, this is the walk-through I used.

That's the walkthrough I used too

Thanks for the replies all.
