However, you can format the drive to work with both Windows and Mac by using the exFAT filesystem. Instead, I fnd PC, which I right click, then left click management, then select disk management. Windows uses NTFS while Mac OS uses HFS, and they’re incompatible with each other. I should say that I never do find the “computer” place. Click the Erase button and the drive will start formatting. Select the format Mac OS Extended (HFS+), MS-DOS (FAT32), or exFAT then name the drive. It seems the system does not recognize the Windows G-Drive. When I try to copy the files from the Mac to the Windows drive, the computer does not allow as the files do not move. I can see the files from one drive or the other. Select your external hard drive or USB flash drive from the list on the left. I have an old G-Drive formatted with Mac. Drag and Drop files, create files as you would on your own internal hard drive. This seems to be a real trap for the uninitiated. Format a drive using Disk Utility on a Mac Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). Move files to and from the G Drive in the finder window. What do I need to do to fix this, so I can continue reformatting this external hard drive?
Obviously I’m doing something wrong from the beginning. Instead I get a black screen like in step 6, which reads "C:\Users\Jenny rather than C:\Window\system32>diskpart. I do not get this screen when I type cmd into the command prompt window.
Once I get into the disk management screen (list of disks and a few other things), I then am supposed to have a screen that mimics the unlabeled step 5, which has "Programs (1)Įtc. I’m not very computer savvy, so I want to ask some specific directions.
