[QUOTE="DLANE125, post: 1261448, member: 206754"] Hi, I'm trying to sort out an external hard drive for my mum. She has a macbook pro with 500GB. we bought an external hard drive (1tb) one of these: [URL='http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003NE5H2G/']Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB USB 2.0 Ultra-portable External Hard Drive - Black: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories[/url] I partitioned it with 300GB for time machine backup for the macbook (she'll never fill that up). This leaves 700GB that i'm going to fill up with videos and music for her to use. I want it to work on the macbook but I also want it to be used to play media using the USB of this BLu ray player we have: [URL='http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003FMSIKE/']Sony BDP-S570B 3D Blu-ray Player: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics[/url] but it says it can't read it. What format should I put the 700GB partition in for it to work on both the macbook and the blu ray player? Thank you [/QUOTE]
