 Troubleshooting

New Components Theory of Operation/HFS+ Formatted Drives - 

 

 When diagnosing hard drive problems, it is important to 

verify whether or not the customer may have used the wrong disk 

repair software for their drive before assuming that the problem 

is hardware related. 

If you experience problems with a hard drive that has been 

formatted with HFS+, Apple Computer recommends using the 

version of Disk First Aid included on the system software CD that 

shipped with the unit. (See the Symantec Web site at http://

www.symantec.com/nu/num-hfs.html for more information on 

Norton Utilities and Mac OS Extended format.)

Some other disk utility and disk locking programs are 

incompatible with Mac OS Extended format. Before you attempt to 

use a disk utility or disk locking program, make sure the version 

you have is compatible with Mac OS Extended format. Check the 

documentation that came with the program or contact the 

manufacturer or the vendor that supplied the program.
