broken image


Hi, I have macbook with OS High Sierra. I have external hdd seagate and it has ntfs file system. So I downloaded a free version for seagate hdd users paragon ntfs for mac os. Link is here: https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/suppor..-os-master-dl/
Version shows that is compactible with OS 10.10 and above. After I installed this software it loaded and showed hdds list and it showed to reboot computer so software could work normaly. After reboot it freezed on loading only shows apple logo and black fully loaded loading bar.
I tried to load through recovery hd but it showed error sign, ok after that Second method was to load internet recovery, in the recovery screen I loaded disk utility and it showed normaly my hdd partition like it has not any issues.
Ok so I had my old hdd and booted old OS, and when I wanted to look for my hdd in disk utility it showing that is not mounted, and can't even mount it..
What to do now?

> How do I tell if my external drive uses NTFS?

The new Seagate Backup Plus Fast comes preformatted for NTFS and for MAC users it can be reformatted. The only flaw in this regard is the 'Protection' feature of Backup Dashboard, not being compatible with MAC. Time Machine can be used to perform the same task for the MAC users, so that's not a big issue. This Seagate software allows you to register your Seagate Backup Plus drive for warranty. Once you've registered the next screen asks if you want to download the Paragon driver for Mac OS. If it is a NTFS drive and you want to install the Paragon NTFS driver go ahead. Otherwise you can click ‘next' to click past this option. The NTFS Paragon driver translates for your Mac. It allows your Mac to write in NTFS to the Seagate Backup Plus. Understand it doesn't change the drive. It is still NTFS. The Paragon driver allows your Mac to write onto the drive so that to your Mac it's not ‘Read Only' anymore.

1. Open Terminal app ( in Applications > Utilities )

2. Type in diskutil list and Enter.

3. You will see lines of output something like below. ( This is for my Mac Mini with Internal drive only )

/dev/disk0

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1

2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 999.3 GB disk0s2

3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3

You will get second set of similar following them for (most likely) /dev/disk1, if your mac has an external drive connected.

In the case above, there are three partition. - EFI (for mac boot), Macintosh HD (OS X), and Recovery HD ( for booting in recovery mode ).

Best apple mac programs. The TYPE column tells what is the format of the partition.

  • 'Apple_HFS' is for normal boot/data partition for OS X.
  • 'Microsoft Basic Data' is NTFS, for Windows data or boot , including BootCamp.

Other possible TYPE can be listed with another Terminal command diskutil listFilesystems.

I can only guess, as I have no detail info about what happened on your Mac at this point.

Probably, the Seagate driver took over OS for NTFS handling, but it fails to process due to necessary software ( part of driver ) did not work properly due to the compatibility with Yosemite.

It may help to identify the problem if you can find error messages in system log, which can be viewed with Console app ( also in Utilities folder ).

The message may come out either at OS boot or on connecting the drive.
