Here you can rename the device and change the formatting, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the standard format for Mac specific devices. Formatting FAT/ExFAT for Windows and Mac on a Mac. Following the same process as before you are now formatting the drive to work easily with both Mac and PC interchangeably.

I have a Lacie d2 Quadra 1tb External Hard Drive. I had it for years on a Mac. But unfortunately it bit the dust and I decided to get a PC. Now either because of time, corruption or because it may have been formatted for a Mac when I plug it into my PC I cant access it. I can find it under Device Manager and Disk Management but that's it. But the PC does see the shortcut button when I plug it in I get a notice saying it sees it.

So I have come here to this community of bright individuals to seek guidance. I know very little about reformatting (possible nothing) so I don't want to mess it up.

So here are my two question: 1. After reformatting will I get all of the 1tb of space I had before? How do I do it.

I would like to thank everyone for their assistance. Microsoft support easy fix word for mac 2011 unable to find internet server or proxy server windows 10.
