SOURCE: New external Hard drive
Open up My Computer and see if there is a new hard drive listed there. It should be automatically detected by your computer, you just need to know where to find it.

FAT32 is a type of disk management, but this is not used for hard disks normally. i already heard that several external hard disk manufacturers by default format their hard drives to FAT32.
you should connect the hard drive, wait until it's recognised by windows and then simply format it to the NTFS-format.
you can do this by right-clicking the hard disk and choosing 'format' from the drop-down menu. be sure to make copies of all files you keep on the disk, because all files will be lost during the format.

Reformat the drive from Fat32 to NTFS.
Largest file size on Fat32 is 4 gig

the problem is that your western digital operates using the NTFS (New Technology File System) which is the standard file system of Windows. Apple macs is not interopable with native NTFS therefore you need to install a read-write NTFS file-system driver on your mac.
an excellent free mac NTFS driver can be found here-

download and install the software then restart your mac.
