Snow Leopard and NTFS

Note: if you use 64-bit kernel, you cannot use NTFS-3G, and this solution is perfect for you :-)

  • If you want to use UUID (ID of the disk), do this step, or skip this if you can use LABEL of the disk
    In Terminal, type: diskutil info /Volumes/[Volume_Name]
    diskutil info
  • Type in Terminal: sudo nano /etc/fstab
    LABEL=[Volume_Name] or UUID=[Volume ID] and “none ntfs rw” at the end of the line.
    To save and quit, press Ctrl+X and then Y to confirm.
    fstab
  • Now you need to restart your Mac and when it is back, you will see this:
