Formatting a Mac to FAT32

dianne_flores

Can a Mac format FAT32? I know that Windows can, but can a Mac? How would I go about doing this? I need to format a drive for use with both Windows and Mac.

Yes. MacOS X can natively read and write to FAT32 formatted drives.

Yes, a Mac can format FAT32, which is a type of file system that is compatible with both Mac and Windows. To format a drive to FAT32 on a Mac, you can use the built-in Disk Utility application.
