<< Solved >> NTFS and FAT drives not mounting

[johnnytucats]

Is this an OpenCore/Hackintosh issue?

I can see my Windows SSD in Disk Utility but it won't mount. I get this error:

Also, I've got a USB drive formatted FAT by that Windows system that also won't mount:

What the heck is going on?

No, macOS mount well NTFS and FAT drives with OpenCore, something more is wrong, do you have Tuxera or any other tool to mount read/write NTFS disks?

 

[johnnytucats]

Yeah I thought they should at least be mounting and readable. I installed MacFuse and that hasn't made any difference. I'm not sure if they ever mounted in Monterey so I don't know if one of the updates…or something I've installed…has wonked things up.

I guess a macOS reinstall is my next step.

I reinstalled macOS Monterey (on top of current installation) and the drives will still not mount.

Also, I created a new User Account and get the same results.

It's fixed.

A new user account had same Issue so problem must lie in /Library folder. Had a clean install of Monterey on an external SSD and no issue. Did a diff command in terminal and narrowed it down to the /Library/Filesystems folder…had five things in there…probably from old install of something. Trashed them and presto.
