Threepwood Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 OS X recognizes my 250GB SATA drive but can't mount it. I checked the drive in Windows and it's got two "simple volumes" instead of the usual primary and extended partitions. Can't remember why I chose to set it up like that. Has anyone else experienced this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55779-ntfs-simple-volumes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeSuKuN Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 OS X can't mount Windows dynamic disks (MS/Veritas proprietary GPT disk format). You need to convert it to traditional mbr-based disk or OSX's GPT-based disk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55779-ntfs-simple-volumes/#findComment-399799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threepwood Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Ok, thanks. I guess I have to backup all the data on that 250 gb drive, reformat it and then move everything back again. Phew. :censored2: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55779-ntfs-simple-volumes/#findComment-400651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeSuKuN Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I doubt that works. the problem is the disk format not the partition format :S Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55779-ntfs-simple-volumes/#findComment-403833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
