1) Open a command window by going to Start, then Run and typing in CMD.

2) Now type in the following command at the prompt:

format /FS:FAT32 X:

where X: is the drive letter assigned to the external drive.

OK, then use the WD recommended method and the WD utility.

Download WD Support > Downloads > Select Product

Support page How to format a WD hard drive in FAT32 (for use in both Windows or MAC OSX)=
