Yes, you could format it as a NTFS or FAT32. Mac (as well as Windows obviously) supports both.

I think you mean NTFS, and yes.. Go to computer management - Disk Management - then format the disk to your needs

So long as the computer can recognize the drive, you should be able to format it. If the drive is dead even this device won't help you.

There is a "format" feature in one of the menus. The manual is not very clear, you need to tinker with it, but you will find this menu.

No, but you can format to your system's operating system when you insert it into your device.

I should note that you need to format them for windows. The process is explained either in the instructions or on the G-tech Web site.

You can format it as you wish. Put NTFS, because FAT32 limits the file size to below 4 GB which is fairly useless and negates the real strong point of this stick - lightening and moving huge fils around...

Hi Stephen. All my systems are Mac. Therefore I have not tried using a PC format.

Yes, but format it in your pc first! Use a card reader or a built-in card slot. Right click on it when it shows in the drive list and use the menu to format it.

It is formatted for NTFS Windows OS. Also, I have dropped it once when I was getting out of the car. The drive is totally unusable due to bad sectors after that.

Yes. You'll have to go to the WD website to get.instructions on how to format it using Disk Utility. Not hard, but not plug and play.Hope this helps. Cheers,Steve

No, it's an unformatted drive with no software loaded. You will need your own software to load.

You can format your HDD to exFAT which is windows and Mac compatible. Maybe android will pick it up.
