Format media with a Mac
From The Neuros Technology Wiki
[edit] Introduction
Formatting your USB, CF or SD cards (henceforth known as 'media') for use with the OSD is simple, once you remember one thing: format as "MS-DOS filesystem". The OSD does not support HFS or its variants.
[edit] Method
- Plug your chosen media into your Mac.
- Fire up "Disk Utility". You can find it in your "Applications" -> "Utilities" folder.
- Select your media in the left pane. Your media is the leftmost icon (usually orange).
- Click the 'Erase' tab
- Select "MS-DOS filesystem"
- Click the 'Erase' button. A confirmation dialog will appear, please read to confirm you are formatting the correct media!
Disk Utility will unmount your drive, format it and remount it when finished.
[edit] Be Careful!
It's too easy to format the wrong media, and it's nigh on impossible to undo.
