Jun 15, 2018 If you want to read or access Macs HFS+ drives on Windows, you may have to do some tweaks in order to read the Mac-formatted drives. Jul 26, 2016 I have just taken the windows 10 upgrade and have a really really inconvienient issue and was poised to return to 7 only to find I may be in worse trouble with program reinstallation so I am. HFS+ Disk Support (repair) not functioning. I am given the option to repair hfs+ disk support but it is not working & the process repeats.
I did read this question on the same topic. The answer mimics what I read here, which basically is:
create partition primary id=af
Site Navigation. Learning sentence structure will help students master punctuation and write better sentences with a greater confidence. Site Navigation. Compound complex sentences worksheet pdf.
The secret sauce is the id=af component. That may or may not work on Windows 7. I have Windows 10, where I can say:
DiskPart does NOT recognize af as a valid ID.
I contacted OWC and asked if there is a command line (or API) version of MacDrive, and their response was:
Thanks for reaching out to us here at OWC Macdrive Support. I would be happy to answer any questions as best as I can. In short, at this time we currently do not have any programmatic way of formatting a drive. However, it is something we are currently considering looking into for our current and future product line. I would be happy to pass any feedback or suggestions along to the development team as far as this is concerned.
Another article on this topic recommended Partition Wizard, but sadly the author did not do their due diligence, as the supported file systems are FAT12/16/32 exFAT NTFS Ext2/3/4.
Maybe the problem is not 7 vs. 10 as much as a needed component for Windows or an added driver. The previous answers MIGHT be accurate and legitimate, just incomplete. Sadly, MacDrive (OWC) does not add the missing component. I have their Pro 10 version.
Thoughts?
