Keep the external drive as a backup. So it's only been a year and a half since I launched this thread, and I hope in the next couple of days to make this work.

I did locate and was able to access the old external drive. It worked fine. Only it didn't have the files I wanted; not sure why. Anyhow those are still on the iPod. I think at one time I wanted to get some tracks I'd already ripped. Those I've gotten. But the iPod has some iTunes stuff I downloaded that apparently is nowhere else now.

Can a "seagate for mac" slim drive be formatted NTFS not fat 32 and used with windows 10 for external backup drive? This program is not working and you can't remove it from your computer!

I've distrusted Paragon's filesystem code for years. It seemed to work OK for about a month, but then suddenly after writing a file under Windows, the entire EXT3 filesystem became unreadable! Creating robust filesystem drivers is hard. Given the high risk of data loss, extensive testing is necessary before a filesystem driver can be deemed trustworthy, and it doesn't look like Paragon's testing is up to the task.

This exact thing happened to me as well. I am in the process of reinstalling s of GBs of programs right now. The help is an equally useless small bit of text. To examine and edit Apple. FAT32 has a size limit of around 4GB, so you can't put any files over that on there. But ExFat is legally-encumbered so that anyone who tries to write a Linux driver for it is subject to a nasty lawsuit from Microsoft.

FAT32 is the only filesystem I know of that can be both read and written under all three major operating systems Windows, OS-X, and Linux as well as by various special purpose devices like digital cameras. It's unfortunate that FAT32 is an archaic design and has some serious limitations, but if your files are smaller than 4 GB and the partition containing your filesystem is under 2 TB, FAT32 provides portability between OS's that no other filesystem can.

For the record, The Paragon app won't let you run the free trial any more.

Reading Mac formatted HFS+ Drive on Windows

What gives?? All I can access is the help menu, which ain't helpful at all! MacDrive no longer allows access to Mac drives during the evaluation period How we are supposed to evaluate it without actually evaluating it is beyond my little brain. All I have to check to see if the drive is actually bad is a Windows 7 x64 machine as her Air sure won't help. After two supposed hard drive failures in 3 months I'm a bit suspicious of the SATA controller or cabling.

After I pulled the drive, I decided to plug into my test PC and the firmware updated fine and the disk management utility sees 3 healthy partitions, but I can't read them without one of the products mentioned in this thread. It sounds like MacDrive is the one I need, but seek confirmation as I do intend to purchase the product that best suits. After trialling the free version and finding it appeared to do what I wanted it to do and did it reasonably well and simply, I thought I'd do the right thing purchased a license.

So far, after 2 weeks, I'm still waiting for a response to my request for help from Paragon and it seems I could be waiting a while. Apparently, irrespective of the fact I have purchased a license, because I didn't also purchase a 'support package' I've gone on a 'no guarantee' waiting list while those who purchased a support package get preferential treatment. Doesn't Paragon understand any person who goes to the effort of purchasing a license expects sufficient technical support to at least get what was purchased working.

But apparently not. Further it seems some customers are more important that others. So, my strong recommendation is, 'think 2 or 3 times about when you want the application to work before you purchase. So if you dont want to buy a Windows machine just to maintain your portable drives, dont use Microsoft formats. I once had to prepare files for a non-profit client using windows XP. I instructed them to use the update for ExFat and prepared an ExFat drive to mail them original high quality HD video files on.

It all went well until I realized some characters are illegal in ExFat and that made for a lot of initial problems. Once I removed any character like:!

Somebody should mention that when talking about ExFat. Does anyone have a good link to reference? Always and never are too terms not often used in IT. You can look it up if you care. Always and never are two terms not often used in IT.
