    So, I've googled this and only found complex methods and stuff but all the names of where I need to go are different from my computer. I know I've got to format it to Fat32 and it's currently NTFS, I just want to try and get a few different methods before I try finding the different named folders and files with this guide I have. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Heres my guide to do this...
    1. Connect your USB external Hard Drive to you PC (Not experienced in mac)
    2. Go to My computer
    3. Right click on the hard drive (The external)
    4. Select format from the drop down menu...
    5. A box should appear with a few options...
    6. Look for the box that says "File System"
    7. A drop down list will have a few options, select FAT32 from the list.
    8. Click the start button... (Do not unplug, disconnect, or turn off your PC or it will corrupt the entire disk...

    Hope this helps!!
