Is this drive formatted for NTSC or Fat32? Can it be set up as NTSC?

It was NTSC formatted. If you want to use it with both Windows and Mac then format it with ExFAT file system.

You can format the drive as FAT 32, Mac OS Extended, or NTFS. Your decision.

I think you mean NTFS, and yes.. Go to computer management - Disk Management - then format the disk to your needs

I've had it for a while now, so I can't remember for sure. I believe it comes as FAT32 for complete compatibility across OS's, but formatting it to NTFS (which is what I did) takes all of 10 seconds by plugging it in, right-clicking on it and selecting "Format..." from the list. I like to use NTFS because it doesn't have the same file size restrictions of FAT32.

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

I did not try formatting to FAT32, but the instructions say to simply use the FAT32 Formatter software that comes on the drive and shows up when you first plug it in. It specifically mentions using it for the PS3. Hope that helps.

Does NTSC regions as it is not locked at all. However, there are other brands out there that does the same with faster read/write speed. The built in battery does not last too long. I've open the drive and found the battery is just one little tiny battery. Good thing about it is it can be replaced. Thx

The drive is formatted FAT32 out of the box so you can use it with Macs and Windows PCs equally.

Mine came formatted with the FAT32 file system so I changed it to NTFS and it did it just fine!

Is your USB formatted in FAT, FAT 32, or NTFS? This TV only supports FAT and FAT32. If your USB device is an external hard drive, it is likely that it is formatted in NTFS and thus, not compatible. Let me know. (To find out what format your USB is, plug it into your PC, right click on it under Computer, click Properties, and you'll see.)

You can format it as you wish. Put NTFS, because FAT32 limits the file size to below 4 GB which is fairly useless and negates the real strong point of this stick - lightening and moving huge fils around...

It only accepts FAT32, not exFAT. So you have to use special tools on Windows to achieve that as Windows will automatically format media to exFAT on drives larger than 32 GiB. Also, I've found that on all but a few computers the ISOstick simply will never work. This hasn't been addressed in over a year (most problems could likely be fixed in firmware). I'd suggest getting a Zalman drive enclosure with CD/DVD (ODD) emulation instead. It also doesn't work on all machines but it's considerably cheaper and works on more of them. Aside from that it's not dependent on the architecture of the host system like the ISOstick (the boot menu runs on the CPU of the host). It only accepts FAT32, not exFAT.

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support and would like to address your question. All of our USB drives are formatted to FAT32 by default and do not require to be reformatted for use with any particular Operating System. FAT32 is an older file system that is compatible with all current operating systems.

I think so it is a NTF format hard disk. All digital. You can make many partition in it.

Yes you can use it if the drive is formatted using FAT32. However doing so has a limitation because FAT32 FS cannot support individual files greater than 4GB. Also you will see a degraded performance regardless of which hard disk you buy.

I have this exact hard drive - purchased it this weekend. It needs to be formatted FAT 32. It works perfectly with my Mac and PC.

Depends on where you buy it from. From PAL countries it will be PAL formatted, and from NTSC regions it will be NTSC.

They are simply different writing formats. Most drives today support both formats. There is more information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_formats
