DiskUtil sees the disk, but for some reason the drive will not mount. I have included the command and response: sudo /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/disk2 /Volumes/'Windows' Password: NTFS signature is missing. Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument Failed to mount '/dev/disk2': Invalid argument The device '/dev/disk2' doesn't have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? any ideas? (also am not able to perform fdisk - error msg: not a character device or a regular file thanks!

I'm pretty sure this is the correct device. Now on /dev/disk1: diskutil info /dev/disk1 Device Node: /dev/disk1 Device Identifier: disk1 Mount Point: Volume Name: Partition Type: FDisk_partition_scheme Bootable: Not bootable Media Type: Generic Protocol: USB SMART Status: Not Supported Total Size: 152.7 GB Free Space: 0.0 B Read Only: No Ejectable: Yes OS 9 Drivers: No Low Level Format: Not Supported and I get the same result: sudo /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/disk1 /Volumes/'Windows' NTFS signature is missing. Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument Failed to mount '/dev/disk1': Invalid argument The device '/dev/disk1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? This drive works in Windows XP, says that it is formatted in NTFS. Seems like a vanilla setup. Why would this not work? Thanks.

you are trying to mount the whole disk. You need to specify the partition: http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?t=590 /dev/diskxsx where x is an integer value

I tried /dev/disk1s1 as well and I get the same error. Here is the partition info: diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: type name size identifier 0: Apple_partition_scheme 93.2 GB disk0 1: Apple_partition_map 31.5 KB disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 93.0 GB disk0s3 /dev/disk1 #: type name size identifier 0: FDisk_partition_scheme 152.7 GB disk1 1: 7.8 GB disk1s1 What worries me is that there is no partition for the 152.7GB that are on the disk. This drive works on WindowsXP, though, so I'm not sure why it won't work here.
