Re: Format Utility
Keith asked for Mac OS X format though, which I'm guessing means HFS, which as far as I know format.com can't do. Fat32 would probably be the best bet though if you need both OS's to be able to have read/write access from any mac.

Format drive letter /u/fs:fat Or, go to control panel, admin tools, coputer management, disk manager, then find the external drive and right click on it to do a format then set the format as fat / fat 32 when you get to that option. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Keith Bucher Sent: Thursday, 30 July 2009 6:47 p.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Format Utility Hello, Is there a program that runs under Windows that will format an external USB drive in Mac OS format?

Re: Format Utility
Hi Keith, Macdrive from www.mediafour.com can do this. It's a paid for product, but if you only need to do this once the trial version should do the job. There's usually about 1000 different ways of skinning each cat, so if it's not urgent wait a while and see what else the list comes back with, might be a free alternative that's as reliable and rhobust.
