Using Mac Drives on Windows
Systems
Pro Tools for Windows lets you record and play back ses-
sions directly from a Mac-formatted (HFS+) drive con-
nected to a Windows system. This functionality re-
quires that all Mac session and audio files be stored on
Mac-formatted drives.
During Pro Tools installation, make sure to select the
Mac HFS+ Disk Support option. This option lets your
Pro Tools system read, write, record, and play back us-
ing Mac-formatted HFS+ disks.
Formatting and Maintaining HFS+
Drives
To format and partition any drives as HFS+, connect the
drives to a Mac computer and use the Apple OS X Disk
Utility.
For information on using the Mac HFS+ Disk
Support option, see the HFS+ Disk Support Op-
tion Guide.
For information on sharing sessions between
Mac and Windows systems, see the Pro Tools
Reference Guide.
