[dba-Tech] External HD

[Rocky Smolin]

I tried first formatting it FAT32 on the MAC and then reformatted on the PC
--> NTFS.  SO I never got to try WDM.  But thank you for the lead.  Looks
like a good thing to know about.

Did my suggestion to use Windows Disk Management not pan out? 

Just curious.

That worked.  Thanks.  Bit confusing trying to figure out where things are
on that MAC.  But good ol' Google always helps.  Had to format FAT32 then
reformat on the PC for NTFS.  All happy now.

>From the Mac format it as FAT32 or if you have a read/write NTFS driver, you
can format it NTFS directly from the Mac.
