As the title says, my NTFS EHH won't mount (although it used to). When
I go into Disk Utility, the drive name is grayed out. When I try to
mount it, it says "The disk “G-Drive-NT" could not be mounted. Try
running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting."
Thanks to Paragon's NTFS for Mac OSX I was able to run Verify &
Repair on the drive in disk utility, but I still get the same error!
Also, most people respond to these kinds of questions with references
to NTFS-3G, but I already have it installed and it worked for the first
6 months of use but now neither my windows partition or this hard drive
will mount...

Well, it sounds like a general NTFS issue and nothing specific to the drive. You said you've used both Paragon and NTFS-3G, and that could certainly be part of the problem. You definitely don't want two NTFS drivers installed at the same time. I would start by uninstalling Paragon and NTFS-3G. After you've got rid of them, see if you can access your drives read-only using the standard Mac OS NTFS driver. If you can, go ahead and reinstall the one NTFS read-write driver you want to use (but not both of them).

Well I've had this problem for a while, and I just installed paragon's software today (3g I've had for months). I could certainly uninstall both, Paragon is easy to do but how do you uninstall 3g? I don't honestly remember much about the installation process other than it being very complicated and having mounting problems...(sigh for having to go through that again).
