my pc is almost completely ready to go!! installed windows today w/ all the drivers needed for my gay little pc parts and got the last of the files on the mac ready to transfer. last thing i need to do is reformat the external hard drive i keep literally everything on to exFAT (though i swear that’s what i formatted it to when i first got it but whatever)

[sonicenvy]

it was as if my whining post summoned the ups guy lol. got the package from the UPS guy came with the package. some initial thoughts:

those people were right when they said that the hinges felt a little flimsy. that display assembly does bounce in a way that isn't uh.... good.

i already despise windows 11 and I've used for a grand total of 1 minute. take meeeeee back.

I'm not a huge fan of the touchpad, but that's not a deal breaker because i already own like 5 different mice. once you go mac on touchpads, you never go back. it's one of those hardware things that apple really has gotten right. obviously the pinnacle of apple touchpads in my mind is the glass touchpad that they had on the plastic body unibody macs. the responsivity on that is *chef's kiss*. The gesture responsivity on the macbook pro touchpads is also fantastic.

I quite like the keyboard, the glowing blue backlight is fun and the chicklet keys are well spaced.

the fans are somewhat loud, but uh being a person of many old computers i am used to that. i think they're also just loud because the computer has so many vents that really let you hear that.

why do all modern laptops ever seem to only have like 2 usb ports, trash. it has always been one of my big complaints about macbooks and apparently people making pcs copied apple's homework on that. you would think that with all the space they saved on one side of the computer by not having an optical drive they could stick some bonus port in there, but noooo. no modern computer manufacturer is going to do this. we can't have nice functional port laden computers like the dell latitude xps (2003).

not a huge fan of the location of the charging port on this thing. also magsafe chargers on mac are the bomb and everyone should do that so that no computer suffers the death of my samsung pc (2010-2014) via cord trip (by way of cat).

haven't had a chance to really play around with it yet because i've been trying to figure out how to make a restorable system image of my old system (now only a hard drive) because the backup that I did have of the system, uh, got corrupted rip.

i feel clever because i tricked my new pc into booting to my externally connected old hard drive, thus enabling me to access my old system. There was enough hardware that used generic drivers for this to work. Notably however, the wireless lan card drivers were not the same, so the computer couldn't connect to the internet because it didn't know that it had a wlan card, which lmaooooo. fortunately i am fairly tech savvy, so I found out that the good folks over at msi offered downloads of the hardware drivers in their computers (a+ to them), and downloaded this driver installer to my macbook. I then found a flash drive, erased it using diskutil and reformatted it FAT32 so windows could read it. I then copied the driver installer to this flash drive, plugged the flash drive into the computer, copied the driver installer to the downloads folder, uncompressed it and installed it. With that installed, I was able to retrieve the other missing drivers, and the date/time mismatch error resolved. After some regedits and other tweaks, it was time to start the back up

the first backup did not work, but I think that had more to do with the peripherals getting yoinked in a way they did not appreciate. Going for a take 2 on the backup using the windows 7 legacy backup and restore tool from control panel. hopefully this works overnight and does what I want it to do.

Hard drive formats extfs 2

#Hard drive formats extfs 2 portable

#Hard drive formats extfs 2 Pc

#Hard drive formats extfs 2 mac

#Hard drive formats extfs 2 windows

When you’ve completed the process, you can open the external drive by clicking the drive’s icon on the desktop of your Mac.

Click Erase, and the system will reformat your drive.

Keep the Scheme set to GUID Partition Map.

Give your drive a name and select the file system you want from the Format drop-down: macOS Extended (Journaled) for an HDD or APFS for an SSD.

Choose your external drive from the left sidebar and click Erase.

Click the Go menu, select Utilities from the drop-down menu, and open Disk Utility.

If you already have data stored on the drive, back that data up elsewhere, reformat the drive, and then put your data back on the drive. Reformatting deletes all data stored on the drive, so if you know you’ll need to reformat a drive, do so as soon as you buy it. Now that you’ve figured out the differences, it’s time to reformat your hard drive.

#Hard drive formats extfs 2 windows

It’s possible, but tricky, to change the size of a partition later on in Windows and macOS we recommend backing up the data on your drive before attempting the task, since it’s possible to wipe your drive doing this. Make sure to leave plenty of room for future backups on both partitions. Now your computer will see your single physical drive as multiple, smaller drives.

#Hard drive formats extfs 2 Pc

First, partition the drive using Disk Utility in macOS and (using our walk-through below) format one part as HFS+ and the other as FAT32 then, plug the drive into your Windows PC and reformat the FAT32 portion as NTFS. If you want to use a single external hard drive for both File History and Time Machine backups, you can partition it so that some of the drive is NTFS and the remainder is HFS+.Unfortunately, FAT32 isn’t any good for storing movies and other large files, as it has a size limit of 4 GB per file, so your files have to be small. FAT32 was introduced in Windows 95 in 1997, but it remains useful because nearly every system can work with it. FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32) is an older file system that both Windows machines and Macs still support.exFAT works on both macOS and Windows, and it doesn’t have the 4 GB file-size limit that FAT32 does, so you’ll be able to back up movies and other large files.

#Hard drive formats extfs 2 mac

If you need to transfer files between Mac and Windows computers, exFAT (extended File Allocation Table) is the best option, although it doesn’t work with File History or Time Machine.

If you’re using an SSD, there is a newer format called APFS (Apple File System), which is intended for built-in drives and external SSDs for newer Macs.

(Check the product listing to confirm the drive will be labeled as an HDD or SSD.)

If you plan to use an external hard drive (HDD), which costs less than an external solid-state drive (SSD) for more storage capacity but has the downside of slower transfer times and a far less durable design, you should use HFS+ (Hierarchical File System Plus, also called macOS Extended Journaled). Typically, if an external drive is physically larger than a deck or cards or has more than 2 TB of storage, it’s an HDD.

macOS and Linux computers, however, can only read files stored on such a drive they cannot write to an NTFS-formatted drive. NTFS is native to Windows, and most hard drives are preformatted for this file system.

If you plan to use your drive for File History backups on a Windows computer, and you use only Windows, stick to NTFS (New Technology File System).

So how do those five file systems differ, and which one is right for you? Non-Linux computers can use five main file systems: NTFS, HFS+, APFS, exFAT, and FAT32. If you use a Mac, the likelihood that you’ll have to reformat the drive is higher. But if you buy a drive secondhand or if you plan to switch between operating systems, you may still need to reformat it for use on Windows.

#Hard drive formats extfs 2 portable

If you buy an external drive-such as one of our recommended portable or desktop hard drives, portable solid-state drives, or USB 3.0 flash drives-you may need to reformat it to work with your operating system of choice, since different operating systems use different file systems to process data.Īlthough it’s true that any drive is compatible with both Windows and macOS once it’s formatted properly, most drives come preformatted for Windows out of the box.
