    I've got a Toshiba 1TB external hard drive that I was originally using it with Windows laptop but when I changed to a Macbook. I found that it was not fully compatible with the Mac. I could see my files on the hard drive and drag them to the Mac but I couldn't drag files from the Mac to the hard drive. Google suggested that I had to format the hard drive to make it compatible.

    I want to get one now that's compatible with the Macbook straight out of the box and I'll need to copy all of the files from the Toshiba 1TB hard drive I already have to it.

    Is there any hard drive that is fully compatible with Windows and Mac computers straight out of the box with no need for formatting?
