Formatting My Passport From Mac I AmDoes this require re-formatting in order for the PC to get files on there If so, will I have to re-re-format it to read and write from my Mac I am using a MacBook Air 2012 with OSX 10.7.5 2GB RAM 1.86GHz Duo Core 2 Intel Processor.I dont know how it is formatted by default, but it is targeted specifically towards Mac.Does this mean I cant copy the files from the PC to the Hard drive. Would that be possible I want to be able to read and write on the HD from my Mac regularly, but I only need to from the PC once (in order to get the stuff on there, then the PCs job is done). HFS - apples format, so if your drive was bought with a mac sticker on it, its prob this. FAt32 - very old format, works on anything, and i mean anything. So if I formatted the HD to be exFat, could I get 1.5 TB of films onto it from the PC, (some of which are 4GB in size), then get 40GB of music onto it from the Mac Mini, and then play the music and films on my MacBook Air Is that possible If so, how can I format my HD to be exFat Can I just do that with the Disk Utility that comes with all macs Thank you to everyone so far. However, exFAT is not the most reliable filesystem in my experience. If you only need to access the external HDD from Macs (not from any Windows PCs), then you might consider transferring the files over the wireless network from to the PC to your Mac (with the external HDD plugged in). Or if you have a friend with a spare 1.5TB external drive, transfer the files to that drive and then transfer them again to your new drive.
