SkillzKills SG

I have a M9 which is an external hard drive i have used it as a Mac time machine backup drive b4 but now i want to use it for my pc so i reformatted the hdd using mac's disc utility and when i plug in the drive to my pc it plays the sound when you insert a hdd/thumbdrive in but when i go to My Computer the drive isnt listed however, i can read the drive using my macbook

Xcert SG

Format using ur pc...not ur Mac.

ok i jus went to device manager and under my external hard drive it says

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Xcert SG

ok...format in Mac under FAT32 and get rid of any partitions while U are at it...my point is that Mac uses HFS/HFS+/UFS/etc for its storage and Windows uses NTFS/FAT32...U using OSX?

Ehh i jus tried to reformat again but there are 2 "types" so i formatted both but now still cannot read btw the 2 types 1 is "Mounted Volume" 1 is the actual drive so i jus reformat both and when i click "get info" on the mac it says "Format: MS-DOS (FAT32)" so i guess i did that alrdy
