[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 850761, member: 24098"] Just to clarify, OS X does not have native support to write, change or format NTFS partitions. If you need the capability, you'll need something like Paragon NTFS for Mac. Formatting it in FAT32 should work, but bear in mind that it is limited to single files of 4GB in total size. If you have a big video file (for example) that's over 4GB, you won't be able to save it on that drive. [/QUOTE]
