Question about external HD's

I want to give my music to my friend. If i write it on my WD mypassport using my mac, will he be able to take my music from a pc?

Only if the drive is formatted in FAT32. Otherwise you are better off burning a disc, as getting the utility to read HFS+ on Windows is a pain to convince people to install.

You use "Disk Utility" for format the drive. and yes of course Mac OS X can read and write the drive after it is formatted.
