Norton Utilites 15 Disk Doctor does not see 3TB GPT HDD

Hello,

 

I wanted to check my new Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD formatted with GPT due to the size. At the moment is connected using a Sharkoon USB 3.0 Dock but...

 

It does not appear in the list of disks for checking and repairing of NU 15. Does it only support MBR drives?

 

If so when will be GPT support be added?

Hi,

This is just me commenting. I do not expect to see GPT support before the next verion of a number of Norton products.

Sorry. And, I have no clue when the next version of any of them is expected. Again, sorry.:smileysad:

Oh well so we wait.... and a GPT drive seems temperamental. If you initialize/format it on a given setup and then you move it to another.... it forgets it was initialized/formatted. (in my case from a Sharkoon USB 3.0 Dock to a Sharkoon eSATA dock).

 

I wish I knew this before copying over 700 GB for 2 hours. :smileymad:

 

Live and learn.

Again, sorry. When you are considering new technology it can be useeful to do a bit of research on how much support is currently available. It has taken me years to learn that lesson. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes without having to retrace my path.

Stay well and surf safe
