Hi all,
How do I use a external Hard drive with both my mac and my pc. Right now it is working with my mac fine but when I plug it into my pc the pc can not even see it. I check the drive with the disk utility and it says it formatted in the journaled format. I have tried erasing it into the ms-dos format but does not work. I select the ms-dos and hit erase and in a few seconds it says its done but it resets itself as journaled. What am I doing wrong. I need to get this HDD erased and in a format that can be read and written to by both my mac and pc.
