Even when it didn't, finding the driver that made it work was a piece of cake. Apple used to recognize Windows file systems easily. However, you could also hit up the people at the Genius Bar and see what they can figure out.Īn aside: jumping through this many hoops to get an external NTFS hard drive to work is absolutely ridiculous.
If it doesn't work for you, you're probably gonna need to back up your Mac, flatten your hard drive and reinstall Mac OS X from scratch - THEN follow my Paragon procedures in order, which is really stupid. This SHOULD boot you all the way through to your login screen - AND your Paragon drivers should mount your drive. cd "/Volumes/(name of your driver here)/var/db/caches/opendirectory" (NOTE: if your hard driver includes a space in the name - eg: "Macintosh HD" - you have to space it like this: cd "/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/var/db/caches/opendirectory")Ĥ) Restart the Mac.You'll sit there until the end of time.ġ) Boot your Mac into Recovery Mode (just hold down Option after the chime and select the "Recovery" volume that pops up).ģ) Type the following into the Terminal when you get there (if you see quotes, include the quotes): If you do and then restart, you may end up with a Mac that will take 20 to 30 minutes to boot up and then top out at 100% progress on the startup bar - and then, nothing. If you install the Paragon NTFS for Mac driver and get a Security alert that tells you to "allow" it, that's probably at your peril if you're running High Sierra. Ok.so here's the deal.here's my solution for anyone who's had issues with the Paragon NTFS for Mac driver from Seagate (or otherwise): Repairing in "Show All" does nothing except run a quick second-long repair.Ĥ) As stated, the drive connects to other computers without any issues.ħ) Uninstalling and reinstalling Paragon does nothing.
My PC can mount the drive and read and write to it perfectly.Both versions of Paragon NTFS can see the drive.I have a Seagate 8 TB EHD that used to mount on my Mac Mini.
