New Components Theory of Operation/HFS+ Formatted Drives - 

 

Some Power Macintosh G3 Minitower computers ship with hard 

drives that are formatted with HFS and some later models ship 

with hard drives that are formatted with HFS+ (also referred to 

as Mac OS Extended format). (Note: the hard drives in all 

Macintosh Server G3 computers are formatted with HFS+.) 

Before you try to repair a customer’s hard drive, it is imperative 

that you determine how the drive has been formatted.

Norton Utilities version 3.5 is not compatible with HFS+ (or Mac 

OS Extended format), and in fact, can destroy data on the hard 

drive. Norton Utilities version 3.5.3 or 3.5.2 will not attempt to 

repair a drive formatted with Mac OS Extended format and 

versions 3.5.1 and earlier cannot recognize that a hard drive is in 

Mac OS Extended format and can result in hard drive corruption 

and loss of all data on the drive.
