Windows 10: Trying to recover Some Files From a MacBook harddrive through Windows

I got a client with their Mac OS screwing up on them with this sort of "Whiting out" of the MacBook screen past login and I'm trying to recover these internal files locked away from the Apple OS format. HFS can detect the recovery, but not the main disk of 222.22 GB of storage that's just locked away there, unable to be labeled or opened for as far as I can tell. What do I do to read this Hard drive? It's not an external one either, it's straight from a mac laptop.

Lost EVERYTHING After Windows 10 Upgrade

I'm sorry @Cyndi for what is happening on the computer now. but try using "Recuva", its an software to recover the data which has been deleted or missed for the computer.

And normally what happens is, when we miss or delete some files from the system it doesn't mean like it completely deleted from the harddrive. Your data's will be there on the harddrive but the pointer from the OS indicates your data has been cleared out

Try using "Recuva". I'm sure this application will recover your pictures. Let me know if you need help..

 

Recovering deleted Recycle Bin files

Hi Brandon,

there is no native way to recover files which are deleted from recycle bin. Sorry for that.

The only way you could try is to use a file recovery tool (3rd Party) to recover files found on your harddrive.

A Linux Distro booted from a thumb?

 

What version of Mac OS? Is the user partition encrypted? If so, you're out of luck. Otherwise Windows isn't the right tool for the job. If you have only PC hardware available for this, Linux is your best bet, as suggested above. Plus, you really need to know what you are doing, of course.

 

As in which Linux? A link to an ISO download to read the Mac Disk And Extract it's files would be nice. I've been looking and practically staring at this Disk that contains the literal files I need for my client for a while now, and it would appear none of these programs I've tried for reading "Mac Formatted" drives work.

 

Ubuntu seems to be the most common bootable Linux for a Mac. Take a look here:

Right. According to my Client, "Sierra" would be the Mac OS installed with no Encryption, and my coworker who works a lot with Linux was unable supposedly to really do anything with the files, in regards to reading them. (I hadn't watched what he had done.) Luckily enough I'm familiar enough to ensure the files do not get formatted over. Perhaps, Maybe, I can attempt to install a Mac OS into one of my windows towers in order to attempt to access these files from the source OS. As I had accessed the recovery files without a hitch, surely somehow I can do the same with the rest.

 

You could physically connect that drive to one of your towers with Mac OS installed? That may be your safest route. Wish I new more about MAC OS, but not.
