Hello,

Stupid question: how to mount an hfs partition? Because I have a damned Canoscan which works only on MacWin and I would like to transfer the scanned files from the MacOS partitions to Linux partition.

The only file I can read is linuxboot

Thanks

Alain

Hello Damir That is what I did but the only file I can read is the file named "Where_have_all_my_files_gone?" with the text "Why can't you see your files?This hard disk is formatted with the Mac OS Extended format. Your files and information are still on the hard disk but you can't access them with the version of system software you are using ... you must mount on a computer that has MacOS 8.1 or later ... (I have MacOS 9.2 !!!!!) ... Alain

Your data is on a HFS+ (or HFS extended) partition, and what you see on the Linux side is the HFS (no plus sign) "wrapper" created by Apple's Drive Setup (just to make sure that if you attach the disk to an older Mac OS, it doesn't prompt you to erase the disk). You must re-initialize the partition in HFS "standard" format (quickest way: startup from Mac OS, select the partition -icon- on the desktop, and choose "initialize disk" -or the like- from the "Other" menu in the Finder; backup your data first...). Then Linux will be able to mount it and you'll be able to copy the contents.
