Sharing data between Windows 
and Macintosh systems

Seagate does not recommend that you use your
external hard drive to share data between the Windows
and Macintosh operating systems. This is due primarily
to all of the variables in OS types and versions, formats
and partitions, interfaces, and third-party connectivity
software packages. If you absolutely must use your
external hard drive to share data between Windows
and Macintosh systems, initialise your drive (before 
you use it!) for a Macintosh OS, as described below,
and then purchase and install—on your Windows 
system—available third-party software that allows your
Windows system to read from and write to a drive that
is formatted for a Mac OS. 

Caution:

Do not leave your drive in its preformatted

FAT32, single-partition condition if you intend to 
transfer data between the Mac and Windows systems.
Doing so will result in data loss.
