Oct 11, 2010 After installing ntfs-3g, all NTFS drives will disappear from the 'Startup Disk' preference pane. Disabling or uninstalling ntfs-3g brings them back. It seems that this issue can't be solved, but only worked around since the Startup Disk preference pane doesn't recognize file system drivers that are not provided by Apple. Possible workarounds. Once you’ve installed the developer tools and Homebrew, run the following command in a Terminal window to install ntfs-3g: brew install ntfs-3g. You can now manually mount NTFS partitions in read/write mode. From a terminal window, run the following command to create a mount point at /Volumes/NTFS. You only need to do this once.

$ cd /Volumes/Untitled
-bash: $: command not found
Apparently this does not work or there's something missing compared to what you have.

Hmmm.. how is that possibile?
You could try to type 'cd' - without quotes - in the Terminal and then drag your Boot Camp volume (named 'Untitled'?) icon from the Desktop onto the Terminal window: this should create the path automatically.

Umm, don't type the $, that's the command prompt. :-)
Also, no need to use pico to create an empty file. Use the 'touch' command instead.

Helps if you get rid of the command prompt '$'
Thanks for the help.

You can use standard unix 'touch' command instead of pico just to create that file.

Even though the Boot Camp disk doesn't appear in the Startup Disk preference pane when mounted via NTFS-3g, you can still boot from it by restarting the Mac and pressing the Option (Alt) key until a list of boot choices appears.
Any bootable volume connected to the Mac should appear. Just choose highlight your Boot Camp volume and press Return or click the arrow.
This does not change your boot preference. If you use this method to boot a volume that is not the one selected in the Startup Disc preference pane, when you reboot your Mac, it will boot to the system you last chose in System Preferences.
Of course, you could use the Boot Camp control panel in Windows to set the boot volume after it finishes booting.
Hope this helps!

..Update: starting with the new NTFS-3G 1.2129 DMG (see the blog website), things have changed a little; so, now it should be: .. and then (after having removed the similar file previously at the root of the Boot Camp volume): (yes, easier than with pico!).
Hi,
Make a bootable dvd from osx dmg windows. I've had NTFS-3G installed for quite a while in order to be able to read and write to and from NTFS formatted hard disks. I just realized my version is very old and I wanted to install the latest version (NTFS-3G STABLE Version 2012.1.15). When I go to the download page (http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/) however I see that the link for the Mac OS X install package

Ntfs-3g Dmg Download

takes you to an old blog page with an old version of the software. The main link (http://tuxera.com/opensource/ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2012.1.15.tgz) takes you to a .tgz file which, when uncompressed, shows the source code with instructions to be compiled within the Linux platform. I have been googling for quite a while and I can't find a .dmg, .pkg or .mpkg install packages for the latest version. Has anybody been able to install this version on a Mac? https://ztfbov.weebly.com/mac-yosemite-download.html. If so, can you give me a hand to install it myself? Any pointers to a .dmg, .pkg or .mpkg install package would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
