Hi there,

You may have some difficulties formatting the drive in NTFS using a Mac. This could be possible using some third party software. If you have access to a Windows PC, I strongly recommend you to use it and format the drive. As far as I understood, the files on your drive are readable in FAT32 but with some errors and performance issues. I recommend you to download a diagnostics tool from the hard drive manufacturer's web page and test the hard drive.

Hope this helps
