Using an HFS+ USB disk with a Popcorn Hour (PCH)

A couple of days ago i finally switched to a Mac (again), unfortunately  OSX didn’t recognize my Lacie 1TB external disk, possibly due to some weird partition map, doesn’t really matter anyway :) .

Since i had to reinitialize the disk i figured HFS+ would be the best option, since all windows based PC’s have left the building. According to the PCH forums HFS+ is supported, but accessing the disk from the PCH only works if it is formatted with the following settings :

  • Volume scheme = 1 single partition
  • Format = Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
  • osx partition map scheme = “Apple Partition Map”
