[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1472748, member: 131855"] Are you planning to keep using the drive with Windows in addition to with the Mac? If you are don't format it as Mac OS Journaled Windows won't read it. If the drive will be used on both platforms you do have some options though: 1. Format the drive as FAT 32. Both platforms can read this format but each file is limited to less than 4GB. 2. Mac your Mac write to NTFS drives using third-party software. 3. I believe both platforms can read drives formated in Ex-Fat. [/QUOTE]
