Windows Harddrive disappears from Startup Disk prefpane #34

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
After installing MacFuse and opening to the Startup Disk Prefpane, my windows 
NTFS disk is no 
longer available in the list. It still appears on my finder desktop however.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OSX 10.4.8 at a 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro

Please provide any additional information below.
When booting into windows and choosing "Startup Disks" in the Configuration 
Panel both partitions 
are visible. (Mac OSX and Windows)

This may be a symptom of MacFUSE using a network file system rather than a 
local one.

I have the same behavior.  Even though I do not have ntfs-3g installed (I used 
the
PKG installer only), the XP partition appears as type: "NTFS 3g (FUSE)" within 
Disk
Utility.  Perhaps the startup disk prefpane doesn't list filesystem types it 
does not
know.

Indeed, in disk utility i have the same partition type, and i also installed 
macfuse with the pkg file.

I also have the same problem. How do I uninstall MacFUSE? I didn't find any
information in this regard.

I am using the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse and I have difficulty in using the "Alt 
Key"
to boot in Windows. So I always have to use the "Startup Disk" and now I am 
stuck.

I would have appreciated at least a warning that this will destroy the "startup
disk", I was thinking more like after installing I have to manually mount the 
NTFS 
drives.

Any help is appreciated.

I don't have a machine with Bootcamp, but those having this problem, here's 
something to try:

Open the following file in Terminal as root (using sudo):

/System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Contents/Info.plist

Then find where it says "<key>NTFS</key>". Change this "NTFS" to "NTFS3g". Save 
the file.

See if this fixes the issue.

Fixed in the source tree. Will be in the next release.

I'm still experiencing this issue in the latest version of MacFUSE; checked my
/System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Contents/Info.plist file for the NTFS-3g 
bit,
it's there.  Any ideas?

Do you have ntfs-3g installed too?
