    Has anyone on this forum been successful in writing to an NTFS formatted drive?

    NTFS 3G with Macfuse worked in Leopard, but now that I've updated to Snow everything is broken now.

    Thanks for any input.

    I read & write to my NTFS network shared drives. I have NTFS 3G (0.9.8) & MacFuse (2.0.3) installed.

    I use Paragon NTFS 7.0, Paragon released a beta fix for Snow Leopard a few days after it was released. So kudos to them, but I guess this is the kind of support you would get from purchased software compared to free ones.

    if its over the network, you don't need anything like that installed because the filesystem on the drive doesn't matter.

    Thanks for everyone's input, I appreciate it.

    I guess I'll just wait for the fix? :confused:

    I've been searching these forums and mac forums and it seems like some people got it to work some not.

    But no one ever posts specifics other than it works, so I'm not sure if people got it actually working under SL or not. I'll research again within a month and see if its been resolved or anything conclusive comes up.

    I am in the same boat but luckily I don't access that drive that often and I can still use XP to do it if needed. I will let you know if I see a new update come out.
