I am wanting to transfer my pictures from a pc running XP to my emac running 10.4.11.

i have an external hard drive which is formatted to work on the emac but isn't recognised by the pc.

How do I transfer 60 gB of pics/music?

Thanks

Here are some ways to do it:

Format the external hard drive to FAT-32 (as long as you do not need to transfer files of 4GB or larger).

Network the PC to your eMac.

Purchase MacDrive 8 from Mediafour.

i understand that you can link 2 emacs together and simply drag and drop files.
Can i do that with a mac - pc?
thanks

That's networking, and it should work between eMac and PC ('tho I've never tried it myself). You can use it with the right gear, eg. ethernet hub etc.
