Need help "HFS+"

[randommember]

I have a video to edit and most people have a mac except me. The teacher gave me an sandisk extreme II ssd and it didnt work in windows as in it didnt show up, i then went to drive manager and set it a drive number "X". It says it needs to be formatted before use. i have a blackmagic design hyperdeck shuttle 2 and it plays off the .mov files i the drive perfectly no artifects, so it does not have corrupted files. Now that i plug it in a mac it does not work. and it reads that the file system is "MS-DOS" but when i read the manual for the hyperdeck shuttle 2 "http://static.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/61873.pdf" its says that on a mac it has to me formatted to HFS+ to be compatible with hyperdeck shuttle 2. So my guess is that when i gave it a Drive number  it converted the drive to "MS-DOS" file system. Last note is that on windows it says the file system is "RAW". So how do i accses the files?.

I think its just video.

What you could do is edit the videos in a different format that both pc can read

move everything onto a mac, format the USB as NTFS (works with mac and windows) and dump the files on the USB

i cant access the files in the first place thats the problem. i use premiere as my editing software it there should't be any compatibility issues.

for HFS+ you will need a mac, borrow a friend's mac for 10 minutes if you can

does it not show up? 

if it doesn't show up, try "ls /volumes" (lists all volumes on the mac)

The drive isnt HFS+ anymore, macs think the file system is "ms-dos" and cant access the drive.

then windows should be able to read the drive, put the files on windows, format the drive as "NTFS" with rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/)

and put the files back on the drive

it says that it needs to be formatted, and if i click cancel it says that the file system is not recognized. i cant copy the files from the drive, and if i format it i get a lot of shit form the teacher.

Can you still access the videos on the drive when you plug it into the Hyperdeck Shuttle 2? If so, simply backup the videos to your computer, grab a mac, and reformat the drive as HFS+.

 

Ideally, you'd be using FAT32 or, more likely, exFAT (Since it solves many of the issues with FAT32, including limited file sizes). FAT32 and exFAT are supported on basically every modern OS around.

 

From the sounds of it, when you attempted to assign a drive letter to the SSD, you screwed up the partition/mbr records.

 

You could try booting to a GParted Live USB/ISO, and reflagging the SSD as "HFS+". It might allow the Mac to read the drive again.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I have tried the GParted Live, but it bricks my keyboard every time  .
As for the format ill be using exFAT if availale as it does not have a file limit of 4gb like FAT32 have on external drives.
I think your correct on the assign thing.

 

I am not able to backup anything from the drive, if you know of a program that clones the drive for free let me know.

There are many free drive cloning tools. Someone already mentioned CloneZilla earlier in the thread.

 

The problem is that, if the original drive cannot be read, then the Cloned image won't be readable either.

 

Frankly sounds like you bricked the partition. You could try running some Mac OS X compatible Partition Recovery software on the SSD, but you'll need a Mac to run it. And I also cannot recommend any software for Mac OS X as I'm unfamiliar with what is good.

I will try that tomorrow at the school's iMacs.
