Paragon HFS+ for Windows - Read, Write and Execute Permission (Full Access)

I got totally pissed off when I installed Windows on MAC using dual boot method(Boot Camp Utility) since I had no chance of writing files or executing any applications from Mac partition(HFS+). Initially, I thought Mac partition has read, write and execute permissions, but when I tried to copy a file, it popped with an error stating "You do not have sufficient privileges/Permissions and blah blah blah…".  So I thought, its time to use third party application which supports RWX permission.

First software which I came across is Mac Drive. As Mac Drive has stated, it should have provided me with full access to Mac partition, but it turned out to be false as it provided only read and write but no executable permission. Then I thought, Ok let me give last try to get handy tool which can actually solve my problem and started to look for a software. That was the time I found Paragon HFS+.

Features:-

Full access to HFS+/HFSX partitions.

Full compatibility with Boot Camp drivers

Files and folder with “.” as the first symbol of file name are shown as hidden

USB 3.0 ready

Supports almost all Windows Operating System.

Format from FAT32 to NTFS without loss of data

FAT32 is a file system supported by all operating systems. FAT means File Allocation Table. This provides maximum partition size of 32GB. Disk Quota management is not possible using this file system and the main problem here is the read mechanism. There exists sequence read mechanism under FAT32 and hence the transfer speed of data is very less. This reduces the performance of the system.

NTFS is a new file system and this is supported by all operating systems as well. NTFS means New Technology File System. This provides maximum partition size of 2TB which is very very large. There exists Disk Quota management feature enabled so that the disk can be used to store specified amount of data only. This file system provides Enhanced Binary Tree architecture and hence the transfer speed will be very very high and performance increase as well.

But the main problem is how to change the file system format from FAT32 too NTFS without erasing  the data in the drive?

Techspace has an answer for this problem and the solution is very very simple.

Steps to convert from FAT32 to NTFS without erasing the data.

• Go to command prompt.

[stextbox id="grey"]convert C: /FS:NTFS[/stextbox]

• Enter the above command in command prompt and wait till the process completes. After the process is completed, the specified drive will be converted to NTFS without erasing your data on the drive.

• In my case, C: is the drive which i have taken into account. If you want to format your drive, then you can specify that corresponding letter.

• FS: means File System.

• convert will convert that corresponding drive to NTFS without erasing the data in that drive.

Restore GRUB 2 after Windows installation wipes it out

One of the biggest problems of installing windows after installing ubuntu is that windows wipes out the Grub 2 and makes Ubuntu inaccessible. The solution to it is available everywhere on the internet and some are on mytechspace too. But since there are different methods, it is natural for anyone to get confused. So here I've summarized all the known methods to restore GRUB 2.

Before getting started, I assume you are in this situation. You have just installed some version of Windows, it could be Windows XP or 7 or Vista or anything. Your GRUB (Boot loader) is gone and you have no way to boot Ubuntu. You have a Ubuntu Live/Installation CD but you do not want to install it afresh again. You boot windows and open mytechspace and you follow one of these methods.

Method 1

Step 1: Boot Ubuntu using the Ubuntu Live CD and open Terminal through it.

Step 2: Execute the following command and find out which partition the Linux (Ubuntu is installed)

[stextbox id="grey"]sudo fdisk -lu[/stextbox]

The output of the instruction will be a few columns. Check the row that ends with "Linux". The First column of that respective row gives the partition where your Linux is installed.

In my case it is /dev/sda3

Step 3: Create a directory to mount this partition

[stextbox id="grey"]sudo mkdir  /media/mntlinux[/stextbox]

Step 4: Mount the Linux ( Ubuntu ) partition.

[stextbox id="grey"]sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/mntlinux[/stextbox]

Step 5: Now Install Grub.

[stextbox id="grey"]sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/mntlinux /dev/sda
[/stextbox]

Method 2

Install Grub-Customizer. This is one of the easiest way of installing GRUB. Just install grub customizer by executing the following in your terminal -

[stextbox id="grey"]sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
[/stextbox]

How to recover your boot menu ???

Most common used OS is windows and by far no one can argue about it either , and not many wanna try different OS like Mac-OS , or one of those many Linux flavors which are available for free. But some do try and dual boot ie. have two or more OS on their single hard disks.

So those who dual boot usually have windows pre installed then try new OS on their HDD.

And my observation is that most Linux flavors are very friendly in cases of dual boot. Many would have observed at the end of installation , the grub loader is installed and it detects other OS on the HDD and adds them to its boot menu.

What is Boot Menu???

Boot menu is the one that displays all your available OS choices during startup.

And as usual the egoistic and competition oriented windows OS doesn't do this operation when compared to Linux flavors.

So there is no problem faced when one installs linux flavours after windows installation as the grubbootloader loads all OS choices.

But if at all your installing windows after installing Linux flavors , then your bound to boot directly into windows next time you startup.

The windows bootloader replaces the grubloader instead of adding it.So one doesnt recieve any boot menu having their choice of OS installed on their systems.

How to get back the boot menu ???

simple :

1. Somehow you got to boot into your Linux flavor .

Methods to do this :

*) Use your Linux Live CD and click on try OS without installing.

*) Dont have a Live CD , no problem .. one can use your alternate CD or install CD as well.

2. So once into the Linux OS. Do the following .

*) Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal .

*) Once into the terminal . need to open either "grub.cfg" file or "menu.lst" file.

*) "menu.lst" is the file if you have a grub loader and "grub.cfg" is the file if you have a grub2 loader.

*) files can be found in /etc/default folder

*) type in the terminal :

sourabh@ubuntu:~$ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

*) once the file is opened . navigate to the 25th line

#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
change it to

GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

*) basically you remove the # symbol ,it is used to comment a line.

*) next type in the terminal :

sourabh@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub

*) this detects all existing OS and adds it to the boot menu and updates the grub.cfg file.

So your done. Just reboot and find your boot menu choices .
