[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1946024, member: 110816"] Most folks format external drives as exFAT so that it can be used with a variety of devices. However, if you've formatted the drive to be HFS/APFS or something, that won't be usable on a PC. The drive, however, should still be seen on the PC and it should automatically prompt you to format it in an accessible format. If the drive isn't being recognized, that's a different story all together. Perhaps you should try connecting the drive to another Mac or someone else's PC to see what they see. [/QUOTE]
