Trash Crash w/500GB Ext Drive using Paragon NFTS
Same problem with my Seagate 500GB GoFlex ext drive. Looked all over for solution to this problem but nothing worked. Tried option key, manually with Terminal, etc.
I finally found solution....someone on another forum mentioned it could be a problem re: Mac not playing well with Paragon software that comes with some of these drives. Thinking it may be an issue on the Windows side, I took the ext drive from my Mac and went to my PC to see if I could delete the offending files that wouldn't erase on my Mac and crashed on me when I tried to get rid of them in Trash.
I connected the drive to my PC. It took a minute or so, but then recognized the 500GB drive. The offending file(s) that caused the problems on the Mac (and that I couldn't get rid of in Trash) were gone. I didn't even have to dump them into the Recycle bin on the PC. Double checked on my Mac, and poof!
, they are indeed gone. FYI, I used this drive for a project the last couple weeks where I was moving between Windows and Mac editing computers transferring psd/mov files, so that must have caused the problem I guess. Hope this late post helps someone eventually......
