By default, Mac OS X will use the GUID partition table to format the drive. You can use this and still share FAT32 volumes with a PC, but if you'll primarily be using the drive with Windows,. Hi, I have a WD essentials 1tb external hard drive formatted to windows 7. Currently I store about 64gb of an iTunes library on there. I’ve just bought my first Mac and understand that’ I now need to reformat the disc to Mac.

Hi, I know the thread is old, but this just happened to me and I'm traveling abroad so I was completely distraught to not know if my hard drive was fubar'ed with all my pics and such when the motherboard on my macbookpro went pop. Bought tiny Acer netbook and was able to download the HSFExplorer software. The Java stuff was a PITA to download and get right for some reason, but not being completely savvy with peecees likely caused some of that frustration. I field stripped the macbookpro, slapped the drive in a spare enclosure and did a little good juju dance before plugging it in. It worked and the data survived! The drive does not automatically pop up in the program's window: you have to tell the program to 'load from device' under the 'file' pulldown. The other software that worked for me was TransMac ().

It's not free by any means at $48 USD, but it's interface is more friendly and intuitive (thought dated looking, but when you are distraught about your data the working/intuitive gui is by far more important than the shiny baubles of the gui) and that might be worth alot to some. I also tried MacDrive () but it would not run on my netbook for some reason or another and since it costs a tiny bit more than TransMac I didn't bother pursuing the 'why' of it. Cheers and good luck out there!
