OK. And formatting on your Mac lets you recognize the drive on a PC? I have formatted my drive using the disk utility and it will not be recognized by a PC. Is there a step or option that I am missing in the OSX Disk Utility? If I am to format my drive using the Disk Utility in OSX then no motter what format, i.e. OSX, or OSX Journaled, the the PC, of course, does not recognize it. If you have a solution, then please treat me like a 3 year old, and spell it out for me. Thank again. -J
