This may be a very elementary question for you gifted folks but is it possible to format an HD in NTFS on a Mac?

I need to format a drive for an NMP-1000 (external media file server) and the device does not read Mac formats. Not sure FAT 32 is a good way to go for 1 TB of media files.

Help please!

As long as the individual files are less than 4 GB in size and the physical disk or logical partition doesn't exceed 2 TB, you're ok with fat32.

But if you want ntfs, just use Ubuntu to format it if you don't have a Windows box sitting around. VirtualBox + the Ubuntu iso will give you a virtual machine that can connect to and format your device.

You'll need NTFS-3G file system.
