Feb 11, 2012 I am switching from a PC (XP Pro SP3) to an iMac. I bought a WD My Book studio II (2tb) drive and haven't configured it yet. Can I set it up as an intermediary.

Hello all,I am switching completely from mac to windows.The backup drives I have are 3tb My Book’s for mac. Does this mean that they cannot be converted to windows?Every time I go to Disk Utility and erase, the only (non MAC) option I have is “exFAT”. But when I choose exFAT, it gives me an error message.I don’t necessarily need this backup disk to work on MAC any longer. Just windows.I am using VMWare fusion to access windows for the moment on a macbook pro (OS X version 10.9.1). I am preparing to move to a windows laptop (with Windows 8) that will be arriving later this month.

Should I just wait until I get the new laptop and attempt to reformat the drive on it?When I attempt to connect the hd to the windows side using Fusion, it tells me “USB Device not recognized”. Can I still initialize it on the windows side somehow?Thanks,Josh.
