NTFS read write Driver
Posts: 19
I have a request for putting the NTFS-3g read write driver into Mepis 7
I do use large USB drives to go back and forth between XP/NT and my Linux systems
The driver is installed

But I can't write to a NTSF USB hard drive -- This is in Mepis 6.5 -- Hence the request -- I think the request was imperfectly worded!

Posts: 22Just tried using your solution. {http://www.mepis.org/node/13822} Didn't work! KDiskFree did not even show /dev/sda1 as being hooked in! Unplugged and plugged USB drive in - Now shows up - but same problem as before!

unable to write to a NTFS USB drive

Posts: 22I am unable to write on a NTSF disk connected to a USB port. It is on /dev/sda1 which default mounts to /media/sda1
Is there anyway to correct the problem?
This was freshly formatted in XP

What the error when you try

What the error when you try to write? Maybe you need to be root.

Error

It comes back that it has only read access privileges to the drive -- standard stuff for normal Linux access to NTSF drives -- which I thought ntfs-3g addressed. This could be an issue specifically with drives attached through the usb port -- I don't know.

You may have stumbled across some HAL bug - (hopefully) to be sidestepped for the time being as follows:
