I recently purchased on iMac 21.5. I have been using my FreeAgent Pro with my PC. I am planning to run Parallel 5 so that I could run my Windows XP. Can I use my FreeAgent Pro to support both my iMac data and my XP debt?

Also, if this is not possible can I format my FreeAgent Pro for use with my Mac?

Yes I have one also. The Fat32 formatting will load under Mac and under XP using Parallels. I have that same setup.

One caution - the setup I had (1TB version) had no fan and the drive gets really hot - I since split the case and reinstalled the HD into an external with a fan.
