A drive formatted for Mac is not visible on Windows. You need to reformat to FAT 32 but the largest file that will handle is 4 gig. Or you can try some software here is a link to check

So i’ll lose all my file… If i format in windows is it visible in mac ??

If you format the drive you will loose your files. A drive formatted for Windows NTFS is read only on a Mac. I don’t know if there is any free software for Windows to use a Mac format drive. MacDrive is a pay one  http://download.cnet.com/MacDrive-Standard/3000-2248_4-10313024.html  I don’t know about Macs but this is old and was free
