GUID partition table/Apple Partition Map

Hello,
I just bought recently a Seagate FreeAgent Go for Mac and I'm planning on using it with Time Machine. My question is the following: since the Seagate is partitioned following the GUID partition table, and my mac's internal HD is partitioned according to the Apple Partition Map; would that affect in any way the backups?
Thx!

From http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/diskutil .8.html
the +APMFormat specifies that an Apple Partition Map scheme should be used. This is the traditional Apple partitioning scheme used to start up a PowerPC-based Macintosh computer, to use the disk as a non-startup disk with any Mac, or to create a multiplatform compatible startup disk+.

  • GUID Partitioning problem

    disk utility wont let me access the options menu that lets me partition a drive and format it using GUID partition table.

    The GUID Parttion map is the "roadmap" to the contents, partitions, formats of the partitions located on the drive.
    It can only be changed with a entire drive reformat, resulting in all data and partitions (even one) having to be erased.
    You can change the format of a single partition, say you have a GUID partition map (or "table", aka GPT) with two partitons, both formated OS X extended and you want to change one to exFAT, that's possible as long as the data is off the partition being formatted to exFAT. The OS X extended partition format can remain without changing the GPT.
    The usual reason for changing the partiton map to GPT from MBR, like what occurs if you want to make a bootable OS X drive, taking a drive the office/computer store which is tradiitonally formatted MBR with FAT32 and thus changing it to GUID with OS X extended.

  • Partition Map Schemes: HFS+ and FAT32 partitions with OSX and Windows

    OK so I know this question has been practically beaten to death, but I keep finding conflicting information. I am using a 2011 MacBook Pro, on which I will set up Windows through Boot Camp. I recently purchased a 750 GB WD external hard drive to use with time machine for a backup on my Mac. However, I also need to be able to use part of this for Windows files. SO.. I intend to use the HFS+ partition for the the Mac (500GB) and create a FAT 32 partition (250GB) to use for backing up windows files (using it for solely computer modeling and need to be able to transfer/share files with Mac users who use Parallels as well as copying to PC desktops). My question is what to use as the partition map scheme. I have heard that when using these two partition types, a Master Boot Record is needed (so Windows can recognize the FAT32 partition) and also that a GUID partition map is required for use with time machine, meaning windows would no longer be able to read the FAT32 partition. Is there a way to reconcile this? Either using Time Machine with HFS+ partition that is set to MBR or uisng FAT32 on Windows with a GUID partition map? Also if I were to use Parallels (with a GUID setup) instead of Boot Camp, could that be the way to save the windows files to the FAT32 Partition and avoid problems with Time Machine not working with MBR? Thanks for any expertise, as I have heard that both setups that I have mentioned both will work and both will not work. Any experience with a similar situation?

    Wow. Thanks for the extremely quick responses. Just for a few points of clarification.. I'm a complete newb at backing up strategies.
    Steve, you would recommend to not backup files from my Mac OSX and files from Windows (also on my Mac) on the same drive, correct?
    I appreciate the strategy of using it only as a backup, that makes quite a bit of sense. However, if I want to only backup my OSX files, and also store (solely as backup copies) say, a number of computer models (Rhino, Revit, etc.) that were created in Windows programs (not needing to store the entire Windows disk), would it not make sense to store these on the same drive in a different partition, creating the need for two different partition formats? And if I were to do this, maybe I should use NTFS instead of FAT32 (and reformat to GUID since that seems to be a standard for Apple and Windows 7 recognizes it..?) to keep them completely separate since the computer model files cannot be opened unless running the Windows programs.
    How do you use your drive with HFS+ and NTFS if not for backups? I will not need to access the HFS+ backup files in Windows, nor need to access files from an NTFS partition in OSX, so that seems to simplify things in that, at least at the moment, I will not need any Paragon software.
    Currently my drive is partitioned as HFS+ and FAT32 as MBR, with the HFS+ partition set up with Time Machine. It appears to be successful, I see my files in Mac HD -> "users" and all my docs, desktop items, etc. are listed. Seems that there is in fact no limit on TM's use of MBR maps, or else it is way above 160GB.
    Third, are you using CarbonCopyClone in place of Time Machine or in addition to it? If in addition would it create the bit-wise clone on the same HFS+ partition as TM is backing up to? Or a separate drive? I'd like to only have one external that I am backing up to for simplicity's sake. I've never used TM before, so this is all new to me. Also, I suppose I have been missing the distinction between storing copies of files, and making a complete backup of a disk image... just now realizing the difference. Thanks so much.

  • Formatting HDs to Mac OS Extended: Does Partition Map Scheme need altering as well?

    Most people know that third party hard drives need reformatting to Mac OS Extended before use but nobody seems to mention the Partition Map Scheme which is somewhat hidden away in Disk Utility.
    When reformatting a drive is it sufficient to just set it to Mac OS Extended or does the Partition Map Scheme need to be reset to GUID or another of the Apple ones? (I believe GUID has to be used if you want to make the drive bootable  .  .  .  but most of the time you don't).
    What problems, if any,  will arise if the PMS is not altered?

    I frequently use FAT for externals, and there are no problems. You are right that GUID is required for booting, but that's about it. If I recall correctly though, a GUID partition map is much more efficient, so whenever I can use it I do.
    One thing to note is that Windows XP and prior versions of Windows do not like GUID, and any version of Windows, including current Windows 7, will only see the first partition on a GUID formatted drive.

  • Help Installing Leopard and issues with partition maps.

    Hi, i've been trying to install leopard on my MacPro G5 to no avail, as my super-drive had failed, i've tried pulling out the HDD and mounting it via an external enclosure and connecting the mounted HDD to my Intel based mac and installing Leopard from a disc running from my Intel based mac to the mounted HDD from my MacPro.
    The problem i've encountered is with the partition maps, OSX installer does not allow me to install Leopard onto the external HDD with Apple Partition Map and insists i re-partition it as GUID which i can't do so as it'll mean i wouldn't be able to boot it from my MacPro G5, thus i'm wondering if anyone have an idea on how to get Leopard installed in such circumstances.
    Thanks!

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    First, let's get the terms straight.
    There is a Mac Pro, which is an Intel processor, using EFI and utilizing the GUID partition map.
    There is a G5, which is a PPC processor, using Open Firmware and the APM scheme.
    There is no Mac Pro G5
    A Mac Pro can use an APM mapped drive to boot from, but cannot install an OS to it.
    In order to install an OS to a drive while installed in or connected to a Mac Pro, the drive must be formatted using the GUID scheme.
    A G5 must use an APM formatted drive to boot.
    To install Leopard on a G5, one must use a retail version of Leopard (not a gray disc that shipped with an Intel Mac), boot to the install disc, format the drive and install.

  • Change Apple Parition Map to GUID Partition Table?

    Hi,
    My external My Passport Studio hard drive is currently formatted using the Apple Partition Map. It works fine with Time Machine, but would it work better if I changed it to the GUID Partition Table?

    Not necessarily. You can use either partitioning scheme. You won't have some of the features of GUID such as repartitioning on the fly, but that's probably not essential.

  • GUID vs. Apple Partition Map

    On my new Mac Pro the G-Raid3 will not mount in eSATA. It's fine in 800 Firewire. Out of the box it was set for Apple Partition Map and worked fine on my previous Intel Mac Pro on the same eSATA card.
    Suddenly on the new MacPro it doesn't mount. G-Technology told me I have to repartition it as GUID. They said I have to select "Free Space" first and then proceed normally. (It's a 3-TB drive Raided internally.)
    Now I checked a Time Machine backup disk I am using on my laptop. That also is Apple Partition. The laptop itself is GUID.
    If we're going to keep up to date in an Intel world, is it wise to get all the drives into GUID format?
    And what about Free Space? Should that be chosen every time? Why not just OS X Journaled?

    Check on TimeMachine specs, I thought it req'd GPT(GUID).
    GPT is a better 'modern' partition format and features.
    I've never been much of a fan or in favor of multi-interface, handy for home users.
    G-Tech's advice. The only way to change a drive to GPT from APM is
    click on drive (not volume partition)
    change from "current partition" to anything else, ie, "free space"
    So that the OPTIONS.... will be available at the bottom.
    Click OPTIONS
    change to GUID and click APPLY
    Change partitions to what you need. Mac OS Extended (journaling)
    Click Apply.
    Destroys any data.
    Things that worked in older Mac Pro may need firmware or driver updates. So your controller might - and please include things like what controller you use.

  • HT5225 "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme...". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSXLion. It has something to do with a repair Apple performed last year. I use a 17" MacBookPro. Any suggestions?

    "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme. Use Disc Utility to change the partition scheme". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSX Lion so that I can upgrade my 17" MacBookPro to move to iCloud. My harddrive was replaced last year by Apple because of a fault by the manufacturer and I think this is the cause of the problem. What can I do so that I don't lose my content.

    When you click the partion tab. There is option on the bottom of the window. Click on that there there are these options.

  • "GUID partition table scheme"  Can't install snow leopard on my mbp.

    I have a mbp that is partitioned as half mac, half XP.  I put in the snow leopard CD and came up with an error that said I could not istall snow leopard because my partition did not fit the "GUID partition table scheme".  I followed the menues to the partition section of the disk utility.  From there, I don't know what to do.  I can't click on the "options" button to change to the GUILD thing.  Do I need to repartition my entire mbp?  Will this erase my other partition?  And will it delete all my data?  Any suggestions on what to do???

    GUID partition table (GPT) or map is a set of instructions at the very begining of a storage drive to tell the hardware what partitions and formats are where on the drive.
    A Intel Mac now requires a GPT to boot OS X as it uses EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) which is a software firmware in a hidden EFI partition on the boot drive designed originally for copy protection by Intel. EFI loads into memory before OS X  does, which can be seen if you have verbose mode activated upon boot time.
    Setting up the boot drive with a GUID Partiton table WILL require backing up of all data off the machine and a complete erasure of ALL partitions on the drive, which includes ALL data, programs, operating systems and files not backed up off the machine previously.
    Since a partition map is basically road directions, when it's destroyed so does go the partitions.
    Also since you will be fresh installing 10.6, your free iLife won't tag along,, however you can erase/install 10.5 first then upgrade to 10.6 (no BootCamp) and that shoudl work.
    Unfortunatly Mac's only now support Windows 7 in Bootcamp, however Windows 7 Pro (and above) will run XP programs natively or via free virtual machine XP downloaded from Microsoft, however since it's really not native, 3D games etc likely won't run very well.
    If your not familiar or willing to take a chance, then I suggest you have someone else upgrade that machine.

  • Disk format GPT and Apple Partition Map  Upgrade questions

    I was told that switching to the new computer with snow leopard that I would need to reformat my drives from my G5 to GPT (GUID Partition Table) from Apple Partition Map (APM) to get time machine to work (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2706634&tstart=0)
    <<Intel Macs boot to either, but PPC Macs only boot to APM. Intel Mac software (OS) installer only want to install and update to GPT, so if you want to use existing drives to install OS X SL to, you will need to reformat the drive.>>
    Disk utility is only giving me Mac OS Extended options, which I thought was my drive format already. So what do I do now? do I erase those drives or what? I'd rather not if I don't need to.

    Hi-
    The Erase window only offers the formatting scheme.
    The Partition Tab offers the selection of GPT or APM partitioning scheme.
    You don't have to partition beyond one partition if you don't want to.
    Just make sure GPT is selected and the apply.

  • Lion This disk doesn't use the GUID partition table scheme

    Hi I have downloaded and began running the installation but it says "This disk doesn't use the GUID partition table scheme", any ideas?! Running latest version of OSX 10.6.8
    Thanks in advance!

    ok, sorry if I offended you for wrong.
    I did not knew Apple ships MBR partitioned disks or has official support for doing so. I always see Windows-PCs with that scheme ( Linux supports mbr and guid just like osx ) .
    Of course I know that Disk Utility offers three options : GUID or MBR or Apple partition map for ppc devices.
    Lion needs GUID, so a reformat is absolutely necessary for those that have one of the others.
    Again sorry.

  • Can't install OSX Mountain Lion, on the disk selection screen i cant select the Macintosh HD to install OSX giving a message (This disk cannot be used to start up your computer).only have one disk to select and my partition map scheme is GUID partition

    just bough OSX Mountain Lion, my laptop operating with v10.6.8.  Can't install OSX Mountain Lion, on the disk selection screen i cant select the Macintosh HD to install OSX giving a message (This disk cannot be used to start up your computer).only have one disk to select and my partition map scheme is GUID partition table. 24.44gb disk available.

    Verify your computer can run Mountain Lion:
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Open Disk Utility and verify the drive is partitioned using GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled. If it is then do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Now try installing Mountain Lion.

  • IMac HD can't be used because it doesn't use GUID partition Table

    Trying to install Snow Leopard... Really need some help here... The instructions given by the installation program simply don't work!!!!
    They state "Use the disk Utility to change the partition scheme. Select the disk, choose the partition tab, select the Volume Scheme and then click Options."
    Volume Scheme is grayed out under partition tab which means I can not change it...
    Why have Apple not made this public that software can not be installed all machines? A very very poor show!!! I am extremely disappointed! Why do you guys not properly test your software and provide all the necessary tools to do the job automatically.. It seems to me the software has been rushed out with out proper testing.
    Please provide me with the next steps... or details of how I get a refund?

    All Intel iMac that had Leopard installed using a Mac OS X installation disc (or had it pre-installed already when purchased new) should have an internal drive with partition map scheme of +GUID Partition Table+. If will work if partition map scheme is +Apple Partition Map+ (which is native to PowerPC Macs), but Installer would have insist that it is +GUID Partition Table+ (if the Leopard installation was done using an Intel Mac).
    How was Leopard installed on your iMac? You can check the current +Partition Map Scheme+ by selecting the drive in Disk Utility's sidebar and looking at the bottom of the window.
    Why have Apple not made this public that software can not be installed all machines?
    Apple has release software that can be installed on all supported machine, where Leopard came pre-installed or was installed properly using a Mac OS X installation disc (run on an Intel Mac).
    Volume Scheme is grayed out under partition tab which means I can not change it...
    You can't re-partition the drive if you are currently started up from that drive. Insert the Snow Leopard disc. Restart with the C key held down to force startup from the optical drive. At the first Installer screen, to up to the menu bar and look under Utilities. Run Disk Utility from there.
    NOTE: If you re-partition your internal drive to change the +Partition Map Scheme+, it will be erased. Be sure to have a back up of at least your personal data before doing the next step. If you want a procedure where you can retain the internal drive data and change the +Partition Map Scheme+, please post back; you will need an external hard drive that is at least as large as the data on your internal drive.
    In Disk Utility, select your Internal DRIVE in the sidebar. Go to the Partition tab. You will now be able to reset the +Volume Scheme+, so set it to *1 Partition*. Click the Options button, and set it to *GUID Partition Table*. Name the volume ("Macintosh HD" is the standard name for the internal drive volume) and set the volume format to *Mac OS Extended (Journaled)*. When you Apply the change, the drive will be erased. It should take less than one minute.

  • Can I keep my Lightroom 3 catalog on a PowerMac hard drive with Apple Partition Map

    I want to keep my LR3 catalog on a HD in my Power Mac (Intel chip) that I had formatted and used to store my pre-LR3 photo folders on my G5 tower. The 1TB drive is half full, and was formatted as an Apple Partition Map. On swapping the drive into an empty bay in my Power Mac, I can open photos saved on the drive, although I can't seem to rename them. I created my brand new LR3 catalog on the drive as well, but haven't done anything other than import the LR3 catalog I had already created and exported from my MacBook. Other than the drive not being bootable on my Intel Power Mac, are there any risks to managing my LR3 catalog from this drive? Or should I only keep my LR3 catalog on a GUID partitioned drive?
    This HD is not of course my startup drive, but only to be used to store my photos.

    Oops, I should have used "Mac Pro" to describe my Intel machine, not "Power Mac"
