Two of the most obvious results of formatting a hard disk are: deleting data and changing file system.īesides, there are also other benefits of disk formatting: The formatting action is performed to prepare a data storage device (including hard disk drive, solid-state drive, USB flash drive, and SD card) for initial use. Luckily, the answer is yes.įormatting a hard disk/drive refers to delete all the file & folders save on a drive and set a certain file system for it. Some users said they clicked on the Format disk button by mistake when seeing the prompt window mentioned above they were wondering if there’s any way to help them recover a formatted hard drive.

Is there any other way to read a Mac-formatted drive on Windows? Sure, it is some effective ways used by other users will be shown to you later on this page. Why? That is simply because the formatting action will damage your data saved on that drive. You should click Cancel instead of Format disk when seeing this prompt. But after connecting the Mac-formatted drive to Windows, a prompt window will pop up automatically on the screen, saying that they need to format the disk before use.

Some took action: they removed the drive from Mac and connected it to a Windows PC properly.

I've had macs since 1984 and stayed with them because you don't need to be a genius to use them (and they don't get virusses unless you install a dubious application from the internet, and they never used to freeze, and never needed mending etc - even though you couldn't just go out and buy one from any old supermarket), so I got really really peeved when it didn't do what I wanted.Many people doubt that whether they can read Mac drive on Windows.

I'd previously installed Snow from the bought update disk on an empty partition on a 250G eGo firewire/usb Iomega external drive - it didn't flinch when I asked it to install and it simply did what I asked without saying "I don't like this disk" or "you didn't previously buy 10.5 for this partition so I don't want to be nice" I accept that some of my old apps (old games) which worked on the previous formatting and OSX 10.5 might no longer work. I understand that Apple says you should stay on 10.5 for the Core 2 Duo processor, but all my useful and up-to-date apps are working fine, and I see no speed issues (yet).

You might read that intel macs are always formatted using the GUID option when they have at least 10.5 installed, but this was not the case on my 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook.Īnyway, my 80G Toshiba internal disk drive is now GUID formatted and the system updated from 10.5 to 10.6 Snow Leopard. I have just realised this after weeks of disappointment and wondering if my brain needed reformatting ) Your MacBook disk backup might be called Imac "Macintosh HD" is not a hard drive, but Toshiba whatsit IS If you are using Time Machine don't be afraid if you only see a backup folder called Backups.backupdb The backup(s) are in there in another folder that might be called "Admin's Imac" - even if you're on a MacBook :o If there's more than one dated backup, its because you've backed up more than once - haahaa. If you can't find the backup then don't reformat unless you don't mind losing everything on the internal hard drive. The very last thing to do before reformatting your internal hard disk is to check that you really have backed up your disk on the external HD (borrow one if necessary). The option is NOT there if you try to reformat "Macintosh HD" because Macintosh Hard Drive is NOT a hard drive - lol )

The GUID option will appear in Disk Utility ONLY when you choose to reformat the Toshiba or whatever drive. Now, if you try to install osx 10.6 (or 10.5 perhaps) and it says it can't install on "Macintosh HD", it probably means you simply have to reformat the DRIVE with the GUID option ticked. Remember that "Macintosh HD" or "My Mac" is NOT your internal hard drive - its only something on the drive. Here are some points to consider if you still don't succeed installing OSX 10.5 Leopard or 10.6 Snow Leopard, even following the excellent step-by-step advice of the experts:
