NTFS-3G Could Not Mount After Upgrading to OS X Lion

This issue might be because you are using an NTFS driver that is not supported by OS X Lion. To resolve this, follow the steps below:

1. Uninstall your NTFS driver.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Delete the /System/Library/filesystems/ufsd.fs.

4. Install a new NTFS driver (Paragon, Tuxera, NTFS-3G and more)

5. Restart and check if it resolves your issue.

Alternatively:

1. Go to System Preferences and search for NTFS-3G and Macfuse, then uninstall both.

2. Remove the Macfuse preferences options as well and reboot your computer.

3. Install NTFS-3G.

4. Install Macfuse.

5. Reboot your computer and then connect your USB NTFS hard drive. You can now mount for read and write access.

You will receive the same error message that you got, just click the Close button.
