This is the best solution Seagate offers for transferring data between Windows and Mac computers. See Document ID: 219103 for more information.
The GoFlex line of drives includes an NTFS driver, which can make NTFS file systems usable in MacOS. To use MacOS native backup systems like Time Machine, please check with their manufacturer documentation. Here are some examples:įile system compatibility between operating systems.See Document ID: 201413 for a list of programs by drive model.See our How To section for how-to videos and other resources to help you set up your backup program.Many Seagate and Maxtor-brand drives include backup programs, and you may use these as well as manual methods to perform backups. To use a backup software, simply install the software that came with your drive and configure the backup to run when you launch it or on a scheduled basis.To backup your data manually, please see Document ID: 206295 for instructions, Remember that you may always backup manually, whether or not you are also using a backup software.There are four main ways to save data (or "backup") to your external drive: manually (using the copy & paste or the drag & drop method), creating image/clone backups, using a backup software, and using backup programs included within Windows or MacOS. To copy the data to the external hard drive: Please see the " File system compatibility between operating systems" section below. Also, please note there may be a file system compatibility issue. Applications will not function when they are copied to a different system. pictures, documents, music, etc.) and not applications. It is recommended that you only copy data (i.e. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted's rescue feature to recover partitions.Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.All these warnings are safe to ignore, and your drive should be able to boot without any problems.Refer to the following message from Ubuntu's mailing list if you want to learn more.In most cases you can use your external hard drive to copy data from one computer to another. Is this a GPT partition table? Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Perhaps it was corrupted - possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Ubuntu images (and potentially some other related GNU/Linux distributions) have a peculiar format that allows the image to boot without any further modification from both CDs and USB drives.A consequence of this enhancement is that some programs, like parted get confused about the drive's format and partition table, printing warnings such as:/dev/xxx contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.
