    Files stuck in Mac limbo


    My MacBook died suddenly. I had to switch to a Windows 10 PC.

    How do I get my files off the Mac-formatted standalone hard drives?

    I'm not very computer savvy -- hence my situation -- so keep that in mind as you reply.

    Thanks!

    Files stuck in Mac limbo

    mac files

    MacFUSE and NTFS-3g are both excellent tools for NTFS access on a Mac.

    Fat32 IIRC will limit you to the 4gb files and such.

    You can use the Disk Utility (Located in Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility) to format your drive any which way you please, except NTFS, because OS X does not natively support NTFS writing. READ ONLY. MacFUSE and NTFS-3G will allow you to write things to NTFS drives.

    HFS+ will however, be mac only, unless your PC/Linux box also has a compatability software installed.

    I would suggest MacFUSE if you need to use the drive between machines.

    you CAN have HFS+ and NTFS partitions on the same drive, aswell. The HFS+ partitions just will not mount in windows without help.
