Brother a thousand thanks to you, I was stuck with my hard drive for years when I accidentally formatted my drive from tv and couldn't use it on my laptop. I was small so didn't know what to do, but today I decided to fix it, watched countless videos and sites to fix and finally I found you. You are a blessing in disguise. Thankyou.
OMG THANK YOU!! I'm from Brazil, I spent the whole afternoon looking for how to solve this problem and on UA-cam Brazil there is simply no one who was able to help me! thank you very much
Thank you so much. I tried my Toshiba external HDD on multiple Windows PC as suggested by Microsoft and other posts, and none of them would open the drive even it shows up in Disk Management. Assigning a letter was grayed out. When you mentioned the Mac book, I remembered I did at one time used it to save files from one. When I use HSFExplorer to auto-detect the drive to open it, it was named Mac External Drive. I'm now able to access my files now.
Hi, many thanks for the video. Just a small point: In my case, in step 2, I had to first "Initialize Disk" by right clicking on the Disk 1 icon on extreme left.
Thank you so much ! I was struggling to read my external hard drive in my computer. Watched many videos but none of them addressed this issue ! Thank you again !
THANK YOU!!! We thought our 2T external drive was a goner, but we didn't realize it had been formatted before. These steps worked for me! I had a WD Element drive and this was super easy to follow :)
This worked perfectly thanks so much! I'm a software developer, pretty technical, and have spent hours trying to troubleshoot this with device manager, diskpart, etc. I regularly need to move files between PC and Mac. Should've searched for your videos first. :)
Thanks a ton. It was life saver. Bought new 5tb external WD passport HDD. It wasn't recognizing at first as it was formatted for mac as factory default. And I use windows. Finally, with your tips I am able to resolve the issue and use my HDD.
Yay, this worked for me! I thought I lost everything when trying to switch from a mac to windows. HFS didn't work for me, it would not recognize my hard drive so I had to use DMDE and pay for the full license. But other than that, this video helped so ty!
You are amazing man, I cannot believe -- of the 15 other tutorials I read/watched, not once did someone consider the external drive being formatted on a different system prior - thanks!!
when i click on auto find the device it's coming up with the partition that doesn't have my data, is their a way i can select the partition that has the right data?
Great Video! But, do you have any experience with Linux Ubuntu? The motherboard crashed and I need to get our documents off the hard drive. Any suggestions?
please my case is different, i was using it on my new desktop and mistakenly removed the harddrive without safely rrmoving it. it has from then do not show up on my 'this PC' i have since tried many methods, please help me. i couldn't even format the drive
what if it wasn't from a mac? I have an old HDD here from the old family computer which was windows 98 or XP, and I'm trying to look on it on windows 11. Definitely not from a mac, but the Change Drive Letter is still greyed out
