- 15" MBP 2.2GHz quad-Intel Core i7, 4GB, 750GB HDD
Hi everyone, please bear with me. Got few questions that boggling me till now.
Question 1:
I have PC desktop running on windows, and a MBP OSX Leopard Snow. I want to link both of them together. However, I know I can't transfer (e.g., read/write/delete) files on either computer because of the HDD format type. How do I link both computers such that I could perform all types of functions (read/write/delete files) with either computer?
Question 2:
Next, I have an external HDD which could be used as Backup Drive for my Mac. However, my MBP doesn't write onto the drive as it's Fat32 partition. Should I format it as Mac partition? If so, my windows PC can't read it right?
Question 3:
I am a Windows user all my life. Most of the files are stored in Documents folder. If I want to do a clean format on my MBP, where do I backup these documents from? Application Folder?
Question 4:
When I delete an application from MBP, i know it will be to delete that app folder from Application. Is there any residual files/folder left in other places? If so, how do i know which one?
Thank you guys for your help!!
