Formatting WD MyBook Live for Windows 8.1
I have 1TB WD MyBook Live listed on Mac OSX 10.10.2 [TopQuark] Go Network as ‘M’ and ‘M-backup’ Sharepoints.
These drives are connected to Apple Airport Extreme via Ethernet/Cat5.
These drives were used with Windows 7 Pro and folders/files are no longer needed.
CMD-I returns
Kind: Mac
Where: Network
More Info: Fetching… (never completes)
How do format these drives as single drive for use with Parallels 10/Windows 8.1 and Acronis 2015 Backup?
I use Time Machine 1 TB drive and Acronis to backup Mac HD to 1TB USB drive. but want additional backup of Windows 8.1 files.

My concern is illustrated in two attached files: Note that WD MyBook drive is shown with MAC - not PC. So, I don't see how to format as FAT32?

If you want just erase it then format it again in FAT32 because NTFS or HFS+ format would cause problems of compatibility for both Mac and Windows.
