While I don’t know if I’d give up Paragon NTFS for this for as it’s so solid, this is a good alternative if you haven’t purchased that and don’t want to mess with NTFS-3G.

natedillon:

First, uninstall NTFS-3G/Paragon if installed.
Open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
Type “diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name” and copy the Volume UUID (bunch of numbers).
Backup /etc/fstab if you have it, shouldn’t be there in a default install.
Type “sudo nano /etc/fstab”.
Type in “UUID=paste_the_uuid_here none ntfs rw” or “LABEL=volume_name none ntfs rw” (if you don’t have UUID for the disk).
Repeat for other NTFS partitions.
Save the file (ctrl-x then y) and restart your system.

This week’s Mac Application pick of the week is SnowChecker.  SnowChecker will help you if you’ve recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and haven’t checked all your applications for compatibility, or still delaying your upgrade until you know everything works.

When I ran it, it detected most applications, but it didn’t detect which version of the application I had installed.  However, it was still informative enough to be useful.  If you’re still curious about which applications you use will be supported under SnowLeopard, you can’t pass this application up.

Be sure to check back every Saturday for the Mac App of the Week!
