formatting a drive

[Jas Sekhon]

U can format it on a mac too just go to applications-utilities
-disk utility.

Run the disk utility and u can find ur drive(which u want to format) on the left column select it and choose the erase option from the window and in the volume format option make sure u have selected MS-DOS format (the default is mac os extended) just choose it and press the erase button once erased ur drive is ready to be used both on a mac and pc….

Thanx n regards
JAS

Zee,

The problem with formating the drive for MS-DOS as FAT32 is that it will be slower when used on your Mac and it will have a 4gb file size limitation as well.

You are better off formatting using Apple Extended and installing the application MacDrive on your PC in order to read it.

I always found picking up the nearest biro and throwing it on the floor whilst shouting works a treat, have you given that a try?

Hope it helps
