Hello,

 

how can i format my Samsung 840 EVO SSD with Windows so that i can put the SSD then into my Macbook and install OSX Yosemite with a bootable USB Drive on it?

I tried FAT32 and NTFS, but my mac doesn't recognize the SSD, the bootable usb drive does work tho.

 

(sry for my bad english btw)
