I think if I can make it that way, I can put on the 1GB partition software like "MacDrive" or any other free that will allow me to read on Windows the HFS+ format, so basically I can install it on windows when needed and I can access the information.

#Format mybook for mac ntfs mac osx#
Is it possible to create a partition probably of 1GB using (exFat or Fat32) and then the rest using the MAC OSX Format (HFS+)? this way when I connect it to my Airport Time Capsule it can be detected and I can write on it wireless Im looking for to this file system dicussion thread! I dont know many Snow Leopard which is why its not a thought in my mind when I mention exFAT is supported. We have ubuntu and centOS servers at work and they all read and wrtie to exFAT drives fine. All the linux builds ive used based off debian or arch and read exFat fine. You should definitely start a conversation on file systems. For this thread though, acido00 is best of leaving his drive with the NTFS file system as far as I can see. There are lots of variations out there, each with their own pros and cons. Maybe I'll start a discussion about file systems.

But again, that could have been something that I did wrong, and isn't the topic of the conversation. It didn't have a problem reading the drive, just writing to it. (source)Īnd again, ExFat was working fine for me on Linux until.well, until it didn't.

However, Linux will need a third party driver to read-write ExFat. Since the MyBook won't be a boot drive, can this work?Īgain, I would have agreed before I moved to Linux. I'm more concerned about another issue that could cause conniptions - using a MyBook as a backup destination for both OSes, with a single drive split into two partitions - one NTFS for Windows and one HFS+ for OS X. While I can't WRITE to an NTFS partition without a third-party utility (such as Paragon NTFS), that's fine - that means I can download files in Windows, and use them on OS X - without having to worry about cross-OS file corruption. Then that is a HARDWARE restriction of the Airport itself - I have a Netgear WNDR3700v4 with a USB port, and I can access any USB drive connected to it, as long as it is in a format that OS X recognizes, and yes, that includes NTFS. According to this you can only browse an External HDD connect to your Time Capsule if it is formatted in Mac's Extended Journal file system. I'll have a look around and see if I can find something.ĮDIT: Found it, although you're not going to like the answer, I'm afraid. That doesn't explain why it can't read the drive though, seeing as - as I mentioned earlier - Mac should be able to read NTFS without an issue. Hmm, I've not used the Airport Time Capsule before, although I do see that it mentions that you should be able to share a HDD through it. Oh wait, are you talking about the Airport Time Capsule, rather than just using any HDD to save your Time Capsule data?
