the most helpful video i have seen in a while, simple and straight to the point. thank you

You might want to clarify… you WILL LOSE all of your existing files when reformatting. This does NOT convert the format of existing files, only those added afterwards.

Hi my MacBook is useless I can't charge it or power it up. I have taken the harddrive out which is a Seagate. How do I transfer data directly from the Mac harddrive to a Windows laptop or chromebook? Thanks

[sscsbsg]

Excellent concise instruction. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Very helpful.

[brianchetelat]

Thank you very much but may I ask a question. What if I already have files on my hard disk, is there a way to still do this procedure and not lose the files?

[heatherherrmann]

What if you want to get data off of a mac laptop drive and move it to a windows computer that can be accessible by either windows or mac? I am trying to recover data from a mac laptop drive for my sister who needs it for legal purposes.

I lost all my date when I erased it to ExFAT format

I cannot believe you put up this video and fail to say this very clearly what Reggie said below: "You might want to clarify… you WILL LOSE all of your existing files when reformatting. This does NOT convert the format of existing files, only those added afterwards". I failed to read the comments below before following your video and just wiped out 20 years worth of photos. I am astounded and in complete dispair. How could I be so dense as to believe Erase does not mean just that: ERASE. You should be banned from YouTube.
