One of the main features of CNET.com is CNET TV, which contains a series of shows such as the "Apple Byte" that covers "all things Apple", which we link to periodically. In addition, CNET hosts a "How-To" video guide where CNET reporters discusses everything from managing web pages to setting up gadgets.

Recently, Tom Merritt has presented a small guide on how to format drives in OS X and Windows that can be read from and written to by both operating systems. We have covered this in past articles, but it is always good to get a video of the steps to take.

In addition, Tom has another video on how to get OS X to write to NTFS formatted volumes, which is a needed for overcoming the 4GB file-size limit in the FAT32 format and may be required for people who manage large video files.

Check out Tom's videos at CNET TV:
