How to access a GPT partition on a PC?
 

So I ordered some content on a hard drive..
and being that all photographers love MAC...
The content is partitioned as GPT..


So the external hard drive is showing up in my device manager.. but not showing up as clickable under "My Computer" and the seagate people said there's no way to access it.

Geek Squad dude told me to save myself money that there are a few PC programs out there that can access GPT...

Help?

Oh come on someone's gotta be nerdy enough to answer this... ;)

I read somewhere a product called R-Studio could do it... any reviews?

Download Ubuntu. Boot from the Live CD that is created and you should be able to access both drives. Copy as needed.

No installation is necessary...obviously.

I will get hubby to bring a CD over... ty for this :)

If he doesn't bring one over.. I may try the R Studios stuff.. just hate to pay.. THANK YOU :)

Another solution is to get MacDrive. You can get a 14 day trial for free, or to license it, i think it's $30 or something. Allows you to read and write to Mac drives (hard drives, CDs, floppies, etc) seamlessly. Works like a charm, we use it a lot for content going back and forth with one of our providers that is Mac-centric.

Shame on Seagate and GeekSquad for not knowing this...
