Hello, 

I need an OMF put on an external hard drive. I sent a drive out however because my friend is using a MAC, he isn't able to write to the NFTS formatted drive. 

It is the master audio mix for a project I'm working on. 

Can the drive just be reformatted to allow a MAC to write to it?

Thanks

My son used Fat 32 compatibility when swapping files between Windows and his Mac

There's also exFat to consider if the file is over 4GB (explained in the link below)
