Can't mount my NTFS ****

Question

Knowing the fact that my new macbookpro can't write on NTFS hdd, I went to install NTFS Paragon 6.5 so that i can write on NTFS. (This version worked for a friend of mine)
But who knows after installing it, i realised my NTFS hdd now can't even be mounted. I then tried to uninstall this NTFS 6.5 but it says it is not installed, when the NTFS Paragon is still in System Preferences. I tried to uninstall/reinstall/delete/restart Paragon NTFS 8.0 and see if it fixes, and I found out that it still fail to mount my <edited by host> NTFS hdd (both my external NTFS hdd and bootcamped NTFS windows 7 hdd).
I used disk utility to fix but it just won't mount. It said "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" when i repair it. I even format my drive with zero out data and reinstall my Mac OS X 10.6.7.
After all these steps, i still can't mount my NTFS hdd. Please help me as I am getting frustrated.

Answer 1

Uninstall Paragon if you can
Do a Apple Menu > About this Mac > more Information  and scroll down where it says "Software" and click on it.
On the right will say "System Software Overview"
Look down to "64 bit Kernal and Extensions" It will say "Yes" or "No"
I think someone said Paragon only works with 32 kernal in Snow Leopard.
Reboot into 32 bit mode by holding 3 2 keys, this should make Paragon work until you get your files off, but you should uninstall it, it's not needed anymore.
(do get your machine back into 64 bit mode, boot holding the 6 4 keys)
Here is a free utility that enables NTFS read/write support in Snow Leopard.
It's a hack so know it might not work in Lion, but get you by for now.

If all that fails, burn a ISO of PartedMagic to cd using Disk Utility. Windows 7 right click, or the free ImgBurn for Windows.
Hook up a HFS+ or exFAT formatted external powered drive to transfer files too.
Hold c/option and boot from the disk, install into RAM and the disk will spit out.
On the left is MountDevcies, doubleclick it twice to get two file transfer windows.

Use the third smaller window to mount your drives, use the file transfer windows to transfer data from the NTFS drive to the exFAT/HFS+ drive.
Once completed unmount the drive and use the lower left corner to exit and reboot. Linux reads and writes anything just about
From now on, format all your external drives to be used with PC's and Mac's as exFAT in Disk Utility (important!)
If you have a Windows XP machine, Microsoft has a free exFAT format to download. Vista and 7 should be fine.
Only Mac's with 10.6.5 and later can read/write exFAT, but exFAT allows larger than 4GB sized files and it the future cross platform disk format.
Don't need Paragon or other third party software anymore, likely why they didn't make a 64 bit kernal extension.
