So I have an external hard drive which I want clean slated and brand new ready to back up my MacBook pro. How should I go about this?
Should I connect it to my new MacBook and format it?
-OR-
Should I connect it to my old PC that it was originally used for? (Hence, NTSF)
What format should I format it to?
Fat32 (I believe it is called) I hear has a 4gig per file limit?
I'm going to want to use the external primarily for backing up my MacBook Pro, however I think there may be times in the future that I am going to need to hook the external up to a PC again.
Thanks everyone.
