Formatting for Windows Under Mac OS

It is possible to format your SmartDisk hard drive in FAT32 format
while connected to an Apple Macintosh computer running Mac OS.
This may be a convenient method if you primarily use your SmartDisk
hard drive on a Mac OS computer, but want to later connect it to a
Windows computer as well.
