Hard Disk Toolkit was a disk-management utility from FWB Software for Apple Macintosh computers. It provided tools for working with hard disks, including setup and maintenance tasks.
The .hdt2 file extension identifies a file used by that software. Its exact role depends on the Hard Disk Toolkit version and installation, but it belongs to the utility's own file set rather than to a standard document format.
Hard Disk Toolkit was designed for classic Macintosh systems. The format is obsolete and is not normally used by current macOS software.
Open an .hdt2 file with the original Hard Disk Toolkit software on a compatible classic Apple Macintosh system. It may not open by itself because it is an internal utility file.
Modern macOS applications generally do not support this legacy format. If the file is needed, use the Macintosh environment and the same Hard Disk Toolkit installation that created it.
There is no standard converter for the .hdt2 format. It is a legacy Hard Disk Toolkit file, not a general-purpose document that can be exported to a common format.
Keep the file with the original Hard Disk Toolkit installation. If the software can read the file, any available save or export function must be used from within that software.
