• Insert the flash drive or hard drive you want to format for Windows compatibility. Go to the Applications folder on your Mac’s hard drive, then go to the Utilities folder, and launch Disk Utility. • Select the drive you want to format. Warning: the following steps will delete any info you currently have on the drive. • Click the Erase button. • Click the Format menu, then choose either MS-DOS (FAT) or ExFAT. Choose the former if the size of the disk is 32 GB or less.

DiskWarrior recognizes the drive and identifies the format, but only works on HFS. If I reformat to HFS+J then I can do a full test of the drive, but does it affect the practical use? It would seem the main reason for using exFAT is that Windows and Mac can read and wriet to the drive over USB. A drive with two partitions, for example can have one partitioned in ExFAT and another in a Mac OS Extended format, so you can use the same drive on a Mac and a Windows computer. Select a format for each partition.

Method 2 - MacPostFactor ​ IMPORTANT NOTES Install MacPostFactor at your own risk. We are not liable if your computer explodes, fail to wake you up for work, lose important files, pictures, porn or simply ceased to work. The Kext Installer includes a NoSleep Extension and Brightness App. Always backup your existing installation before installing MacPostFactor or install in a second partition.

Choose the latter if the size of the disk is over 32 GB. • Enter a name for the volume (no more than 11 characters). • Click Erase, then click Done.
