You said that you wanted to to use an external drive to use for BACKUP. Well.A lot of these people did not fully read your question.
Also, there is a command that you can run in terminal that lets you see NTFS drives in Time machine, but once you run Time Machine it fails. Yes, I have tried that same ntfs mounter. User interface is very similar to AirPort : simply click on the icon to display a menu with NTFS volumes name and select the volume you want to write on.
wasn't keeping too close of an eye on it. Reads HFS+, allows read and write on both systems, no limit on transfer sizes. Re-Formatting the Iomega on Mac as HFS+ and then plugging into the PC worked great as the Seagate drive already required me to download their HFS Driver for Windows.
#External hard drive formatted for mac use on pc mac osx#
I need to be able to use interchangeably between the Mac OSX and a Windows XP Pro. I've recently gone through two different external hard drives: first a seagate goflex pro 750 Gb for Mac and now a Iomega 3.0 1Tb NTFS Formatted. On a Mac, you first need to download NTFS drivers, see this article: If you are on Windows, the hard drive is most likely formatted with NTFS (not FAT32). Thanks for your help!ĭo you know the file system your hard drive was formatted with? What operating system are you using now? So, can my hard drive which has my old windows stuff saved to it be read my my new Mac? I don't want to lose all my data - pictures, music, taxes.? I own a mac book pro and am looking to buy an iMac soon. Is there any external hard disk that can be used with both Windows and Mac for backup?
