Hello all,
I have found a similar thread to this already but it didn't really solve it completely for me.
I read up on the problems between using an external hard drive between windows and osx.
Ok, so I formatted the external hard drive which is in a Macpower FW800 case with a Seagate 500gb hard drive inside using my windows computer like suggested.
That was after I originally formatted my Hard drive using the MBP and found that it was not recognised using my windows machine...
I then searched the forum and found that it needed to be formatted in NTFS in Windows and then install mac fuse and NTFS-3G on the MBP and restarted... After the restart I connected up the ext hard drive and it could not be recognised... :-(
Upon going into disk utility it appeared there but could not be erased or anything...
Error message was that it could not be unmounted...
Can someone please at least help me to remove the mac fuse and NTFS-3G from my system so I can at least attempt to re-format it using my mac and only use it to read and write only on there. That way I can at least buy the mac drive app for my windows machine if I really want to still use it on that machine...
I even tried some scripts that I found to try and format it in terminal, but I am no expert and didn't have much success doing that either.
What are my options please...
Thank you very much...
