A drive formatted in this fashion can be swapped between a Mac and Windows PC. If you want to format the drive to use on both Mac and Windows systems, you’ll choose the ExFAT from the list format options. Or, as long as you’re using Windows 7 or later with a 64-bit PC, you can pick both ExFAT, a replacement that handles much larger files (4GB and larger), and GUID Partition Map. If you’re starting from scratch, you can initialize a drive as MS-DOS (FAT)-better known as FAT32-which is readable up to Windows XP with the Master Boot Record scheme. HFSExplorer for Windows is free and updated for Windows 10, but requires the installation of the Java 5 or later runtime environment (JRE), which can introduce security issues unless you configure it carefully.įor Ubuntu users and those with Unix or Linux distributions that can support hfsprogs, you can turn to a detailed thread at Ask Ubuntu for advice on mounting in read-only mode or, with some additional effort, as read/write. Paragon is a long-time developer of cross-platform Mac/Windows disk mounting software, and its HFS+ for Windows 10 works on Windows releases all the way back to XP and Windows Server 2003 all the way through the present Windows 10 release. The hard drive has its own programs such as unlocking the hard drive etc so I don't want to remove/damage those files. How can I change the format so that I can write files to the hard drive with my MacBook. The trouble is that the drive is already formatted-this limits options, but it’s neither expensive nor impossible to proceed. I have a hard drive which I used to use on my Windows computer, and is in NTFS format, so I can only read files on it with my MacBook.
But the problem is I can’t access this HDD from my PC which has Windows and Linux.
