WD My Passport for Mac HFS+ File System Changes to RAW Whether you delete file or format HFS+ disk, at least the disk can still work normally. When WD my passport external HDD changes to RAW file system, the disk will stop working normally. Western digital - passport for mac - using it in Windows 8 I have a western digital hard drive that I was using on my mac. I now have a PC with Windows 8 and it does not find the hard drive in explorer. I have downloaded an SES driver and tried to reformat the drive on my mac as NFTS and FAT, but it does not seem to help.
How can I move files from my PC to my Mac with WD My Passport and then use the HD as an external backup? I have about 1.5 TB of files on the PC and I would like to access them on my MacBook Air but keep them stored on the hard drive. I would then like to use the hard drive as an external backup device and a new place to store my music and films. Does this require re-formatting in order for the PC to get files on there? If so, will I have to 're-re-format' it to read and write from my Mac? I am using a MacBook Air 2012 with OSX 10.7.5 2GB RAM 1.86GHz Duo Core 2 Intel Processor. Thanks, Mark.
This window allows you to adjust the volume of the left and right audio channels, or turn them on/off.

Works great on a pc. Can't be read or write from a mac unless you buy a 3rd party driver and I've had problems in the past with both of the two main options. HFS+ - apple's format, so if your drive was bought with a mac sticker on it, its prob this. Windows can't see it without buying a clunky app. FAt32 - very old format, works on anything, and i mean anything. Pc, mac, wii, televisions, anything.
However doesnt handle individual files over 4 gigs. ExFAT- i always have one drive formatted as this so i can access from bootcamp and pc, a modern version of fat32, can handle big files, works on mac and pc. Just doesnt work on televisions etc. If you definitely never want to use the drive with a pc again, or with bootcamp, then reformat as fat32 or expat, copy the files from pc to drive, drive to mac. Then reformat (deleting everything) to HFS+ and use with your mac. Click to expand.Yes, use Disk Utility to format it as exFAT. Plug it into your PC.
