WiebeTech LLC Usage with Macintosh computers Mounting and Ejecting Volumes When you connect the unit to the Mac for the first time and turn on the power, you’ll probably see a message saying that the disk is unreadable. This is because you must format the volume before using it. The easiest way to do this is to use Mac OS X’s Disk Utility. If you plan to use the unit on both Macs and PCs, select “MS DOS File System” as the format type.
