I accidentally used my backup plus with time machine on my mac which is how you're supposed to set it up if you want to use it on mac and takes it out of the ntfs format which it was originally in. The problem is that I need to use it on my windows computer too and now it's not showing up on my pc. So my question is how do you restore the backup plus external drive to the ntfs factory settings.
Thank you so much in advance.

There's no reset button on a hard drive but you should be able to download the software for it from the Seagate website. The software is called Seagate Dashboard and is downloadable here: http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support/external-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/backup-plus-desk/
