CAN I USE MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE FOR BOTH MAC AND PC INSTALL

I could easily install a second drive cloned to the C drive but what fun would that be? Is this the approach to use, or am I mixing apples with oranges and doomed to fry something?

It is a guide in the guide forum.actually a post to a link lancelhoff, multi-partition USB flash drive in windows. In my readings of boot problems on this site, I noticed a topic about multiple partitioning of a stick, as well as fooling the DOS into thinking the stick was an actual internal hard drive, thus assigning drive letters for the primary, and remaining volume. Obviously I don’t understand this stuff or I could fix it myself. I assume it lacks either the boot ini files that the sticks need, or that the USB recognition function for a hard drive come later in the boot sequence and thus is not recognized. The USB drive won’t boot after the BIOS has been changed to USB device, priority 1 in the boot file. The USB drive works as a duplicate storage device with all files and information that the SATA drive holds, when one does a normal boot. I don’t want to just backup files, but all programs, drivers, and the same OS. The reality is to have a cloned external hard drive that could be used to boot a computer and clone a new internal hard drive if the original SATA drive had a mechanical malfunction.

I used the Seagate software to clone the C SATA drive to this USB drive (NTFS). My goal is to make a stand-a-lone Seagate FreeAgent USB (self powered) external drive, a working replacement "main drive (0)" for my computer with it’s own operating system I’m Scotch/Irish/German with no desire to conquer the world, drink every Pub dry, and do it for little or no money, but I am stubborn, hard-headed, and tenacious to a fault. I have read all the posts for making a bootable flash drive (stick) and made both a Hirens bootable stick (three different sticks, Sandisk 4GB, Kingston 1 GB, and a generic 16GB) and a BartPE bootable CD disk….my eyes bled, and the hammering base drum in my head has subsided. I have painfully copied all programs, files, and added the peripheral hardware (printer, scanner, modems) to make this a duplicate replacement computer system with an addition monitor.

I have a Dell GX630, 3.2 GHz computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 that is replacing my older 700MHz machine. In that regard, I will claim ignorance with a smidgen of knowledge-just so you know who you are dealing with and will correspondingly, dumb down your answers to my level (slightly smarter than a pile of rocks when it comes to absorbing this type of information). I have a technical background (hardware control systems), but am by no means a threat to any IT guy who actually understands DOS (Greek), or different OS platforms.

CAN I USE MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE FOR BOTH MAC AND PC FOR MAC OS

Tuxera (who develop one of the commercial NTFS drivers for Mac OS X) have a list of free NTFS drivers that are developed from the same NTFS-3G source used by Linux to read NTFS drives.Hello all. For a while I've been using but as far as I can tell it hasn't been updated since December 2008. I'd love for someone to tell me differently.

CAN I USE MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE FOR BOTH MAC AND PC MAC OS X

There are a few third-party products that allow Mac OS X to read NTFS formatted drives but as far as I'm aware the free ones aren't as well maintained as the commercial ones. Mac OS X has had support for reading NTFS formatted disk for a few versions, but still doesn't have write support. The default GUID partitioning scheme won't be recognised by 32-bit Windows XP and earlier Windows operating systems and Mac OS X versions earlier than 10.4. FAT32 (called MS-DOS (FAT) by Disk Utility a filesystem originally released in 1977 and updated a few times since, lastly in 1996) really is the only cross platform filesystem that is going to work fully out of the box with Windows and Mac OS X.īe careful though, if you are using Disk Utility to format the drive, you should make sure to choose the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme (hit the "Options." button below the "Partition Layout" control on the Partition pane).
