How can I format a USB drive as FAT from a MacBook Pro?
- by Edward Tanguay
I plugged in a 250GB USB hard drive into my MacBook Pro and want to format it in FAT so I can transfer files back and forth between a windows machine.
(My windows7 machine only formats in exFAT which my Snow Leopard 2.6.4 doesn't support until I do the update).
So I want to format it on the mac.
but when I right click on the drive, it gives me the options to eject, copy, but not to format.
I can go into Disk Utilities, click on Partition, but the only option is the "Mac Journaled format".
