Appendix C: Hard Drive Configuration and Maintenance 83
Using Mac Drives on Windows Systems
Pro Tools for Windows lets you record and play back sessions directly from a Mac-formatted
(HFS+) drive connected to a Windows system. This functionality requires 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 op-
tion lets your Pro Tools system read, write, record, and play back using 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 Option
Guide.
For information on sharing sessions between Mac and Windows systems, see the Pro Tools Ref-
erence Guide.
