Sylv3on Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 i upgraded my osx hackintosh install from el capitan to sierra a few days ago (installed it on a different drive, copied applications, user data, etc. from old install to new) so today i go into my osx install trying to access one of my ntfs formatted harddrives only to notice that macos shows it as exfat formatted with a size of 1.8TB instead of ntfs formatted as 1.6TB possibly important: the drive that i installed sierra onto is the same drive that is having these weird issues. it's got one 150gb hfs+ partition for macos and then a 1.6TB NTFS partition for my music and games and stuff (ntfs because i still want to use it in windows without any greater hassle) also any ntfs driver i tried to use (paragon or tuxera) had the exact same issue attached is a screenshot of the drive and partitions in question from windows' side is there any way i can fix that since it IS a major inconvenience Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/323229-macos-sierra-showing-ntfs-drive-improperly/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braixen Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Bumping because I've had this problem. This is detrimental as it results in data loss. I've had an entire Windows install wiped because macOS would just not see the drive at all, and my drive setup was similar to Sylv3on's here. If there's a fix that doesn't involve wiping the whole hard drive, I'm all up for it.
