Hi, new here and a pre apology if this is in the wrong section.
Simpletech 320 ext HD, I want to be able to download anything from a PC or my new MAC Book Pro. Included directions said I would need to format the EXT HD in FAT 32 to be able to use with both OS'. THing is the mac cannot do this, or more correctly something I assume in the HD is preventing the action. I keep getting a message " cannot undock device" and another similar cannot unhook device ???? I went to format in MS-DOS/ FAT 32 and tried partiioning also. It again gave the same errors. It wont even partition. I am sure there is something I am doing wrong as usual, because the more I use this Mac the more I realize how much I was missing with the old PC. 1 month old....... takes some getting used to. ......I have read several threads on topics very similar to this but nothing that I was able to directly use in my situation.
Thanks in advance for any info or link to lead the blind........
