Please, can someone confirm me if these steps can work under Leopard that doesn’t have a ‘Recovery Mode’ or have a different suggestion to get back 200GB from my HD ? The article explains to enter ‘Recovery Mode’ and then to typeĭiskutil cs list to see the Logical Value of the disks (LVUUID) ĭiskutil cs resizeStack (LVUUID) 0g to expand the storage to its real capacity.

That an HD can be resized to its original capacity with some terminal commands. I have read here (sorry, it’s in italian language) : Unfortunately the utility SeaTools is a DOS application… Notwithstanding I received it without the jumper, the HD appeared on the desktop as a 32GB Ms-Dos HD and Utility Disk under Mac OS X Leopard can’t resize the partition to its full capacity of 200GB.īut it can’t help Mac users how to solve the problem. The HD was installed on a PC Laptop and surely formatted with the CLJ (Capacity Limitation Jumper) installed to limit the capacity to 32GB in a system that didn't allow more GBs. Lastly, Seagate SeaTools also directly connects with some Microsoft system tools that come installed with Windows, but that you may never have even heard of, like the tool to eliminate malicious software, or the one that helps you manage hard drives.I’m asking your help for an HD Seagate ST3200822A 200GB 7200rpm ATA/100 I purchased on eBay and I received today ready to be installed as a second HD in a PMac G4 MDD FW800. Additionally, you can have all the information associated with the disk up on your screen (model number, series number, firmware version, SMART, etc.), or run an advanced test that could even erase certain information that you have stored.

There aren't very many basic tests that you can run, but you can adjust the intensity of the tests according to your needs. Seagate SeaTools examines the physical surface of the disks in search of problems that may cause the disks to malfunction. Seagate SeaTools is an official tool from the maker of Seagate hard drives, designed to help you identify possible problems in your machine's disk drives, or any other external drive that you may connect from time to time.
