If you want to insure full Mac compatibility of a new external hard drive or flash disk, you’ll want to format the drive to the Mac OS Extended filesystem. This is particularly necessary for purchases of generic PC drives, which almost always come preformatted to be Windows compatible rather than for Mac OS X. 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.

Mac Os Format Usb Drive

I have a flash drive thats currently on MS-DOS and I want to make it hfs+. I plugged it in my computer and opened disk utility. I selected it, went to the erase tab, and set the format as mac os extended (journaled). i pressed erase and the progress bar goes half way, but gets stuck at 'formatting disk5s2 as Mac OS Extended (journaled) with name Untitled'. after a long time, it says disk erase failed. Disk Erase failed with error: File system formatter failed. can anyone help me?
