WD ext hdd query

Hi

is it possible to use my WD ext HDD used on my Imac, on my PC. I am using windows 7.

If i connect it to my PC it shows up in “devices and printers” but not in my computer " devices and removable storage"

thanks in anticipation

It will depend on how it is formatted. FAT32 will work on both but has a max file size of 4 gig. That is the simpelist solution. There are other solutions but I don’t know much about Macs. Here are a couple links that might help http://community.wdc.com/t5/External-Drives-for-Mac/WD-drive-as-a-back-up-for-Windows-7-and-MAC-OS-locked-files/m-p/84753#M1830 and http://community.wdc.com/t5/External-Drives-for-Mac/WD-My-Book-Elite-Using-on-a-Mac-amp-PC/m-p/92308#M1894
