Hi guys.
I have a macbook pro and recently bought a WD Passport Studio.
First of, I have found out that the WD might have some problems with being found on Windows. It is said that this issue can be solved by trying a shorter USB cable. This, I personally haven't tried because I apparently don't own such a thing. :/
But what I am trying, and what I wanna ask you, is whether or not it is possible to format half to FAT32. As it is now I have 2 partitions - both Mac journal.
I have tried to get plugins and use disk utility to format it to FAT32, but here is it only possible to format the whole thing and not just one of my partitions.
Then I tried to format one of the partitions to NTFS-3g, but due to the first issue above, I can't format it in windows, since I cannot see it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
- And please don't suggest other formats or discuss what is best, because I am certain of what I need.
