I’m writing this because an external hard drive I bought for Mac isn’t recognized by Windows.
(It would be easier to use “Create and format hard disk partitions,” but it wouldn’t run, so here’s another way. 😢)
Run Command Prompt (CMD) as an administrator.
Then, use the commands below to delete the external hard drive’s partition and format it as exFAT 32, which is compatible with Windows and Mac OS.
diskpart
Display the list of disks and identify the number of the external hard drive.
list disk
Select the identified drive, then initialize it.
select disk {disk number}
clean
create partition primary
format fs=exfat quick
assign letter={drive letter}
