Mac HFS+ Disk Support
Warnings
Volume Check
Whenever a disk is mounted, Mac HFS+ Disk
Support checks the disk to see if it was properly
unmounted the last time it was used.
If there are signs that it wasn't unmounted cor-
rectly, Mac HFS+ Disk Support displays a warn-
ing so that you will know there is a risk that the
disk was improperly unmounted.
If Mac HFS+ Disk Support displays a Volume
Check warning, do one of the following:
To mount the drive, click Mount Anyway.
To cancel mounting the drive, click Cancel.
Mac HFS+ Disk Support will only mount such a
drive in Read-Only state, so it cannot be used to
record in Pro Tools.
Note that this warning does not mean that the
disk has been judged to be corrupt; it merely
means that there is a significant risk, and that
the disk should be remounted and then cor-
rectly unmounted on a Mac system before re-
connecting it to a Windows system.
If the problem persists, the disk should either be
repaired or reformatted (using Mac OS X Disk
Utility) in order to avoid future problems.
Disk Protection
Whenever an attempt is made to change the
partitioning on Mac disk by any Windows soft-
ware other than HFS+ Disk Manager, Mac HFS+
Disk Support steps in to mediate the situation.
This is done because if Windows software other
than HFS+ Disk Manager makes changes to the
partitioning on a Mac disk, the disk will no lon-
ger be Mac-partitioned or Mac-formatted, and
all contents of the Mac disk will be lost.
Sometimes this is a desirable outcome, if a Mac
disk is no longer needed, and you want to repar-
tition and reformat it for use exclusively with
Windows. In this case, you should select Erase
the Mac Disk.
At other times, however, Mac HFS+ Disk Support
steps in and protects a Mac disk from accidental
damage. In that case, you should select Don’t
Change the Mac Disk.
If you decide that you really do want to change
partitions on the Mac disk, but want it to remain
a Mac disk when you are done, you should select
Modify the Mac Disk.
