You can't save it back to the same drive you're recovering data from. If you know there's more data on the ABC drive to recover than will fit on the 250 GB partition, then you'll need an external drive large enough to hold the recovered data. It works by examining the entire drive for BOF (beginning of file) markers, and then recovering whatever it can.ĭo not write anything to the drive you need to recover data from. This is a very long process, especially on such a large drive/partition. I recommend this one in particular because it has an option called Salvage All Files, which will attempt to recover data from a drive that won't mount on the desktop. It will run as a working demo and allow you to recover a few files to see if it works. But this was a Mac formatted partition to begin with. Formatting the drive wiped out the file table.

Typical Windows recovery software depends on the file table to determine what files are on the drive and where to recover them from. Ouch! It's odd that the mistakenly formatted drive won't show on the desktop. It's okay to use exFAT on external drives since you can get the original data again from an NTFS drive if the external exFAT drive is having trouble." Use NTFS, which is known to be stable and reliable. So Microsoft's thinking is probably something like this "Don't use exFAT on an internal drive. In other words, it's still a work in progress. To make sense of why MS would cut off the use of exFAT for internal hard drives, it has to be understood that exFAT still doesn't have a final specification.

The whole purpose of exFAT was to allow easy transfer of large files between platforms in a format that didn't require third party drivers on either the Mac or Windows to read the drive. You can still format any type of external drive that way (hard drive, USB drives).

What MS did was make a change in Windows 8 so that you cannot format an internal drive as exFAT. I looked again myself and found out this is not the case. Normally very accurate in their statements, so I assumed them to be correct. Drag the drive to the left bar in the Favorites section.Kurt, what is your reference for saying that MS has dropped development for exFAT? You should see your drive in the “Volumes” folder.ģ. Open Finder, go to “Go” in the menu bar and then “Go to Folder…”.Ģ. If you want easier access to the volume, try this:ġ. When this is done you press Escape and then type :wq! followed by enter. Type in the following line, LABEL=”VOLUME_NAME_WITHOUT_QUOTES” none ntfs rw,auto,no browse, replacing the “VOLUME_NAME_WITHOUT_QUOTES” with the name of your hard drive. Next you press the i key, you will see the name of the file in the bottom left corner change to – – INSERT –. Here you can type in “sudo vi /etc/fstab”. If all goes well the Terminal screen opens. Once you have opened Spotlight search you type Terminal and you press enter. The easiest way is to use Spotlight search by pressing the little magnifying glass icon in the top right corner or you can hold the keys Command + Space. I had the “spaces problem” with the name of my hard dirve: Simpler thing to do, if you can, is connect the volume to a Windows machine and rename it to something without spaces.įirst you start Terminal. This implementation is definitely better than any 3rd party implementation available.

But not to worry, you don’t have to install any third party drivers to enable this.

If you have noticed, Mac OS X doesn’t support writing onto NTFS disks.
