It will probably destroy whatever data is currently on the WD but if you back it up first, you should be good to go.
I have a macbook pro and have a 1TB WD external Harddrive. I have large files that I want to use on windows based laptops.
I can read and pull files off of external harddrives of windows laptops, but I can't write to or even read my macbook external on the windows laptops. Is there a way that I can have a Windows partion and a Mac partition on my 1TB external?
Will Windows and Mac laptops be able to read/write from it?
I do not have the option to install anything to the windows laptops, so writing to 1 external HD via my macbook and taking it around to the windows laptops would be the ideal solution.
Thanks in advance!!
