So with more research I think I know what is going on. WIndows would recognize me usb hard drive but I could not install it as did it recognize all my hardware, I never installed my drivers because I have 10.5 which apparently it does that for you. But why would none of my hardware work? also If i need to backup my drivers how do I do so? I do not have my apple disc because I am 200 miles away at college... wow all this work just so I can play diablo ii on my macbook
