Mac-Formatted Drives

Recuva
1

Does anyone know if Recuva can read and rescue a Mac-formatted drive? If not, do you have a suggestion? I have access to both Windows and Mac machines, but with need to borrow the PC. Hence, my question.

Thanks!

I don't have a Mac but am sure Google may offer a few suggestions (be careful choosing one)

Hi StanfordAlan, and welcome to the forum.

Have a look at "TestDisk" and "PhotoRec". Sister programs in the same download.

TestDisk:

Operating systems

TestDisk can run under

  • DOS (either real or in a Windows 9x DOS-box),
  • Windows (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, Windows 7 (x86 & x64), Windows 10
  • Linux,
  • FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
  • SunOS and
  • MacOS X

PhotoRec:

Operating systems

PhotoRec runs under

  • DOS/Windows 9x
  • Windows NT 4/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7/10
  • Linux
  • FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
  • Sun Solaris
  • Mac OS X

PhotoRec can do a lot more than image recovery.

They both look at first glance like command line but aren't. They have a structured menu system to follow and are very powerful. Take note and use the extensive guides and helpfiles.

And of course they have a forum ...

TestDisk & PhotoRec forum:

Being a windows user, these are the only cross platform programs I have experience with.

Hope that helps and good luck.
