[QUOTE="MaDDoG, post: 377676, member: 24625"] I have not done this in a Mac. I did it with an external drive recently and I have done many on PC's. If it were a PC it is a simple get into disk management, format as..., and make it active. The external drive I had I did in fat32 and made 2 partitions....one as a windows partition so may daughter can use it to store pc based stuff, and the other as a fat 32 Mac partition for me. Just plug in the usb cable and I can see both partitions in OS X and their labels, Win and Mac. From what I have read it should be a fairly straightforward process on the Mac as well....as they have posted above, just use the disk utility and format and label the drive. Should be no more complex than that. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
