Additionally we have recently released a new professional maintenance tool, Paragon Hard Disk Manager for Mac, to help you perform these basic and numerous advanced file system and volume partitioning operations.

In case you quite often need not only to verify and format NTFS volumes, but perform more advanced tasks, such as move, resize, copy or even undelete partitions formatted to HFS+, NTFS, ExtFS, FAT and exFAT, try the new Paragon Hard Disk Manager for Mac.

All current operating systems that have been optimized for Advanced Format are of course backwards compatible and will install and function quite happily on pre-AF hard drives and partitions. Most pre-AF imaging and cloning tools are actually perfectly capable of working with the latest generation of Windows operating systems and even Drive Image and Partition Magic can still function as intended with all versions of Windows on a traditional hard drive if that drive has been partitioned entirely to traditional alignments. As with the opposite scenario mentioned earlier it would be necessary to avoid letting an AF aware operating system create its own partition during install, or for you to use any of the bundled apps or tools that may re-align or create partitions to the new rules.

One other but more extreme option would be to use a partitioning utility that has the ability to resize a partition from its front end, which can allow you to move the start of a partition forward a little bit on the drive, then move it back to an aligned position. Of course this is doubly risky and only suggested for people who like gambling. If the partitioning tool has the ability to work to both alignment standards then this method could also be used to restore traditional alignments to partitions that had been inadvertently created to the new rules, but again we would recommend the clone backup and restore method of repositioning a partition. Moving Partition Alignments with Gparted (off-site guide, relevant for HDDs).

Not all operating systems support AF hard drives. When it comes to Windows, only the latest versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 support it natively. Some hard disk manufacturers like Western Digital are offering software tools for operating systems like Windows XP to make their AF hard drives compatible with the operating system as well. (I suggest you check the Exploring WD's Advanced Format HD Technology over at Hot Hardware and Dell's Are you ready for Advanced Format (AF) Hard Drives for additional information).

The program itself will not fix alignments that reduce the performance of the drive. The developer links to tools that disk manufacturers like Western Digital, Hitachi, Toshiba and Samsung have created to align the sectors properly. (A universal tool is Paragon's Alignment Tool)

There are differences between Toshiba and Seagate. The 5TB Toshiba drive would not work in the Seagate USB3 case. Both drives work without any changes on the computer. BUT the Seagate drive shows up as MBR while the Toshiba shows up as GPT. So I think while the USB3 controller uses different logic to work with drives greater than 2TB. I know even the old USB2 Seagate drives would show up as MBR and still work with the new USB3 seagate drives. So they all show up as MBR drives. The problem here is, if you use a RAID type controller, does it do any translation. IF SO, the 4K advanced format drives will not show the partition. So you will lose data already present. But you can copy the data off first by using a modern computer and attaching the drive directly first.

"Recently, my Kingston USB pen drive suddenly became inaccessible and required formatting. But when I tried to format the disk, I got the error message saying that the disk is write-protected and Windows was unable to complete the format . So, how can I remove the write protection from my Kingston USB drive? Is there any third-party Kingston write protected USB format tool that can help?"

The write protection issue happens now and then. It prevents you from accessing the pen drive to delete, add, copy, or modify your files. To continue using your device or format the drive without problem, you'll need a write protection removal tool in Windows 10/8/7 to unlock the device.

Here, you can directly download a USB write-protected removal tool to automatically clear the lock state or make some efforts with the manual ways of CMD and Regedit editor. At last, download the best USB format tool provided by EaseUS software for free and apply it to format the write-protected USB drive instantly.

CMD command line in Windows DOS is one of the solutions to repair and fix write-protected memory cards or flash drives. Working as a write-protected usb format tool, it can help you format Kingston pen drive and remove the write protection within simple steps.

The tool that can help you is EaseUS Partition Master, a reliable partition tool in the market to help manage disk partitions by formatting, deleting, creating partitions, etc. You can also apply it as a write protected USB format tool to make your Kinstong USB flash drive work normally again.

1) When we say 32bit or 64bit versions of windows we are referring to how much addressable memory the o/s can see/use/read/write which has nothing to do with disk drives. Indeed 32bits is 4GB of addressability NOT 2TB.
2 )Surprise !! Windows XP 32bit can use hard drives (and prtiotions) well beyond 2TB (thats a direct copy from Microsoft). The 2TB limit isnt in windows, its the use of MBR partitions by 32bit Windows which causes the restriction. XP 32bit can also use FAT32 etc and each of those has its own limit too but no one seems to be claiming those as limits anymore.
3) 32bit windows does not support GUID partions and so the myth of windows itself having a 2tb limit has been born.
4) if correctly configured windows 32bit can actually read (only) 4TB GPUID drives but not create or write to them.
5) additionally NTFS has no 2TB limit, and windows is quite happy to use non-microsoft partitioning tools to create > 2TB volumes/partitions that NTFS is happy to format under 32/64bit windows.
6) one more common way is to use a raid card with utilities to make larger partions (not MBR or GPUID) and format them with NTFS. These partions can not be created with windows 32bit, but work just fine for read/write under 32bit windows becauses its how the drive is presented to windows that counts, not how many bytes are involved.

Hey Carlton. I have been working on this problem for some time and even posted my problem everywhere but no one has a specific answer to me. Please help. I have a toshiba qosmio x505 w898 gaming laptop that runs windows 7 Ultimate (I just upgraded since someone said it may help with my problem) 64 bit. I have two hard drive ports. The first one has a samsung 2 tb ssd. The second port is a samsung 4 tb ssd that I use for data only. But windows will not let me use all 4 tb. I had it initialized and formatted to 4 tb. Windows, bios and samsung magician software all see it as 4 tb but when I try to use all 4 tb, the drive becomes unreadable and corrupted. I tried installing new copies of the files (itune movies and tv shows) by downloading it from itunes.
