Sharing data between Windows and Macintosh systems Seagate does not recommend that you use your external hard drive to share data between the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. This is due primarily to all of the variables in OS types and versions, formats and partitions, interfaces, and third-party connectivity software packages. If you absolutely must use your external hard drive to share data between Windows and Macintosh systems, initialise your drive (before you use it!) for a Macintosh OS, as described below, and then purchase and install-on your Windows system-available third-party software that allows your Windows system to read from and write to a drive that is formatted for a Mac OS. Caution: Do not leave your drive in its preformatted FAT32, single-partition condition if you intend to transfer data between the Mac and Windows systems. Doing so will result in data loss. 6 Quick Start Guide
