Can't have both encrypted Mac's HFS+ & MS W7 EE SP1's BitLocker NTFS?
OK, I messed around with this and figured the quickest way to reproduce
this issue between platforms after playing with issue more during my free time. I had problems erasing everything on the HDD with Mac OS X's Disk Utility. It wouldn't even let me its remove partitions. I had to use Windows 7's Disk Manage to manually delete all the (partition/volume)s except its 200 MB EFI System Partition (not changeable?). I also noticed it cannot make multiple partitions in a single shot like in Mac OS X's Disk Utility since I had to make a big volume, shrink, make a smaller volume, repeat. Anyways, I used Mac OS X's Disk Utility to make 3 new partitions (HFS+ & 2 (ex or not)FAT [no NTFS option]). Everything looked fine when I wrote text files and checked on both systems. Next, I tell Mac OS X's Disk Utility to format that HFS+ with encryption. Everything was still OK in Mac. I go to Windows and check, and things started having problem like not seeing a FAT partition, files, etc. It seems like Apple is messing up the partitions. I am going to reverse in creating partitions manually and slowly with W7 first, go to Mac's Disk Utility to format an encrypted HFS, recheck, BitLocker encrypt a NTFS partition, and then recheck to see their results.

I had no problems (mak/creat)ing them. The problem is that Mac OS X v10.10.5 (Yosemite) thinks I have 2 FAT drives (only 1 should exist while other is NTFS (assuming cannot be read due to its BitLocker encryption which is fine to me)).

Partitions were fine (yes, I know Mac can't read BitLocker encryptions so that partition stays hidden). I told Mac OS X to do a very long encrypted Time Machine backup and manually copy some files into this encrypted HFS+ partition for hours.

Can't have both encrypted Mac's HFS+ & MS W7 EE SP1's BitLocker NTFS?
With the long and hard way. I did all the tedious partitioning in W7
(only NTFS though since FAT weren't offered)) first, then go back Mac OS X to make a partition HFS+ with its encryption. I checked both machines. No problems so far! I told W7 to encrypt a NTFS partition with its BitLocker that took a while (no format with encryption option like Apple does?). I rechecked with both machines. No problems. I reformatted the unencrypted NTFS to exFAT in Mac OS X since W7 wouldn't let me. I rechecked both machines, and no problems. Right now, I'm writing a lot of data to both encrypted drives which will take a while to see how these go. So far, it seems like Mac OS X's Disk Utility messed up my partitions when doing encryption after creating partitions instead of having MS W7 do it slowly?

Argh. you’re going to have problems with the partitions. Apple uses GPT, Win7 usually uses MBR. GPT systems can see MBR partitions. MBR systems can (usually) see GPT systems which have one partition. More than one partition, not so much. You will experience problems with GPT partitions on 32-bit Win 7 systems, and different problems on 64-bit Win 7 systems which have older BIOSes rather than UEFI. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table I suspect that your Win 7 system uses MBR. I really doubt that you’ll get an MBR Win 7 system to see your partitions. Frankly, if I were trying to set up an encrypted USB device which could work on both Mac and Windows, I’d simply use NTFS and get one of the extensions which allows OS X to read/write NTFS. There are, or used to be, several free NTFS extensions, and there is at least one pay version, from Paragon.http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ Alternatively, I’d get a virtual machine (Parallels, VMWare, Virtual Box) and put Windows in it on the OS X machine, and read the NTFS drive using Windows. Finally, I’d try formatting the drive HFS+ and getting a HFS+ read/write extension for Windows. Paragon offers such an extension, too. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows/ I used to use two of the free NTFS on Mac extensions, was dissatisfied with the performance, bought the Paragon extension and have used it for several years now. I suspect that it will be difficult to impossible to put two partitions, one HFS+ and one NTFS, on a USB device and have them be actually useable. |
