Windows Drives Won't Mount
 
I have my drive partitioned with Vista on one an another free partition to store things on, and I can't get them to mount, even through disk utility.

Any help? I've also tried ntfs-3g

does anyone have an idea?

  • What types of disks are you using? Are your OS X boot disk and the problem disk of the same type (SATA, PATA, USB, etc.?)
  • What does the partition table on the problem disk look like? Typing "sudo fdisk /dev/disk1" in a Terminal will show this information, although the disk number might vary.
  • Do you see device files for the partitions in question? They should be called /dev/disk1s#, where # is a number that I can't predict with certainty, although it's probably 2, 3, or 5. The "1" in "disk1" might also be a different number.

Does "dmesg" on Terminal show any errors happening when OS X attempts to mount your NTFS volumes?

dmesg gets this:
Quote:
Unable to obtain kernel buffer: Operation not permitted
usage: sudo dmesg
They are NTFS partions on my SATA drive. They used to be mounted with leopard...
