Zante Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hey all, I'm not sure if this is the right forum but ah well. I have a 250GB drive formatted to NTFS with all my movies and music on it. OS X didn't mount it straight away so I decided to manually do it. This was fine but when I open the drive it only comes up with the folders and shows nothing in them. (When I first did it it showed 0 files). I decided this was fine so I would tranfer the files to another drive, then format to HFS+. The problem is it looks like the hard drive could be faulty. Getting CRC errors trying to copy in windows. My question is, is there a way I have backup this drive even though there's CRC errors or try get OS X to see all the files or something. Perhaps it permissions I don't know. I'm a bit at a lose now, I've run out of ideas.

shadowdesign Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Partitions orders.. you have to make sure it is: mac_os_partiton *, your_other_files_partition once again Mac 'can' read files from NFTS, but if you want to be able to write any, you'll need it in FAT32 format..
