Option 2: Format to HFS+, and use HFS Explorer to read/write on PC. Refer to the following message from Ubuntu's mailing list if you want to learn more. Conversely, you can format the HD to HFS+ and use HFSExplorer for Windows to read and write to the Mac-formatted hard drive.
#WHAT FORMAT SHOULD I USE FOR MAC AND WINDOWS DRIVER#
Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.Īll these warnings are safe to ignore, and your drive should be able to boot without any problems. Now, a new hard drive icon will appear on. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted's rescue feature to recover partitions. Connect your Western Digital My Passport drive to a Mac computer, and let macOS detect and mount the drive for use. Is this a GPT partition table? Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt.
Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Perhaps it was corrupted - possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. However, Windows by default can’t read these file systems. New Apple devices will be formatted with APFS while old Mac drives can use the HFS file system. The best news is that most devices included Mac computers can read and write from FAT32 devices. dev/xxx contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. USB drives and external hard drives use the Windows FAT32 to format for compatibility. To do this, you will need to use either exFAT or FAT32 formats. Conversely, you can format the HD to HFS+ and use HFSExplorer for Windows to read and write to the Mac-formatted hard drive. Ubuntu images (and potentially some other related GNU/Linux distributions) have a peculiar format that allows the image to boot without any further modification from both CDs and USB drives.Ī consequence of this enhancement is that some programs, like parted get confused about the drive's format and partition table, printing warnings such as: Option 2: Format to HFS+, and use HFS Explorer to read/write on PC.
