• The drive comes formatted in NTFS. It also has a Windows backup application and a MAC backup application. Although I have not attempted to format the drive to FAT32, I see no reason why it could not done using the Windows utility. Just plug in the drive, right click on the drive (I believe it comes up as WD EasyStore), select the format option, and select FAT32.
