Alright heres my situation:
I am going to get my first Mac computer, the Macbook Pro, when the Back to School Promotion starts (hopefully next week). I am starting to plan for the conversion from a PC to a Mac by putting all the files i want to back up on my external hard drive. Once the files are transfered onto the mac, i ultimately want to be able to then backup files from my mac onto the external. I actually have a few questions. The first one being Will i be able to transfer this material without have to format my harddrive? If not, will i lose my files on my external hard drive if i have to reformat it just so it can be read on a mac? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
