Okay, I am not sure where this fits, but hopefully it will fit okay here. So, I upgraded my brand new iMac to Leopard yesterday. I went to set up Time Machine and discovered that my external hard drive is NTFS and cannot be written to. So, I install MacFuse, then I install MacFusion (GUI) and the NTFS driver (macntfs-3g). Until I install the driver, my hard drive is showing up on the desktop. Once the driver is installed, the hard drive disappears. Technically, it should be there, but it isn't. Now I can't access my hard drive at all from my iMac, which is really inconvenient as I wanted to set it up as my backup disc. I am also very hesitant to reformat the hard drive as there is a lot of data on there that I just don't want to have to try and find a place for while I do a reformat so that my iMac will just write and read it naturally. I uninstall all the MacFuse stuff and the hard drive is still not showing up on the desktop.
Basically, what now?
Oh, I should probably note the the hard drive is not damaged as it is showing up in my windows partition (I set up dual booting yesterday too).
