How do you turn your mac hard drive into a windows hard drive?
I'm not quite sure what you mean, so I'll give you both answers: "How do you use a hard drive for Mac and Windows on the same machine?" On a mac, insert a Windows install CD or DVD, and the computer will ask you if you want to set up windows to run alongside mac. In the process you will partition the hard drive, so you will kind of have a windows hard drive, and a mac hard drive, but on the same disk. "How do you remove a Mac hard drive and put it in a Windows machine?" I am not a technical expert, so you might want to look up "How to remove and install a hard drive". All I know is it probably won't fit, so you might need to buy a hard drive enclosure and run the drive from a USB port. Hope one of these helps! If not, please revise your question

Why does ot say cant transfer to new volume when you plugg in your external harddrive?
Assuming you're talking about transferring files from a Mac to an external hard drive (since this is the Apple / Mac section), here is one possible scenario: If the external hard drive is NTFS formatted, then the Mac will only be able to read the contents of the drive, and will not be able to write to it. To remedy such a situation, back up all data from the external hard drive, launch Disk Utility on the Mac, select the hard drive, and format it as 'Windows / MS-DOS' (FAT 32) format (if you'd like to keep the external hard drive Windows compatible), or format it as 'Mac OS Extended' if you're only going to be using it on Macs.
If I download Windows 10 on my mac will all of my files get deleted?
You cannot just download and install Windows on your Mac. To install Windows on your mac you will have to partition your hard drive and then install Windows on that new partition. This will have no effect on your existing OSx. To do this you can use Boot Camp already installed on your Mac or Parallels which you must purchase.

How do I convert a Windows formatted hard drive to now work in a Mac computer as the hard drive?
The Windows formatting is probably MS DOS FAT 32 or NTFS. A Mac will be able to read from such formatted discs but will probably have problems writing to them without the aid of software such as MacFuse (See links below) . If you have no need for the Windows formatting connect the drive to the Mac. Open Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder. Select the drive from the left hand pane and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Volume Format drop down menu.
