NTFS drive not mounting in OS X
Am trying to mount a Maxtor Quickview 160GB hd formatted in NTFS on mac OS X 10.4.10. 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!

/dev/disk2 doesn't have NTFS. You're quite probably trying to mount the
wrong device.

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:

/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.
