If you currently have WBFS on your Mac and you wish to format a drive with it, the following steps can be followed:-
How to Format a Hard Drive to WBFS on Mac
1. Conditions before Beginning:-
Before beginning the formatting approach for your Mac, let me tell you that the drive is able to read Wiki data only when it is formatted to WBFS with a USB loader. The formatting process also includes you to connect the device, open utilities and then find disk utility to format a particular drive.
2. Connect the USB device now:-
In order to format a particular drive with Mac, you will first need to connect the USB device to the dedicated port of your Mac. There is an application folder in every version of Mac which can be opened in order to locate utilities. You have to click this folder of applications in order to open utilities in your Mac.
3. Double click the disk utility:-
After reaching utilities, make a double click on disk utility and then click the drive that you will like to format or erase from left column. Click erase tab on the right and then set the volume format to “MS DOS (FAT)”. Click “apply” after making the desired changes.
4. Creating a partition:-
