Recent convert to macs,loving the release from virus worries!But I have a seagate 320 gig external drive that I want to use with my mac mini.I previously used it with a pc so reformatted it to fat32 as I was advised that the mac would be able to see it then.I intended to get disc utlity to reformat it to mac's format so I could use it.But although finder could see the drive and give info on it ,when I opened disc utlity it just said 'collecting disc information' and stayed like that.The only way I could get it to stop was to force close it.Is it the external drive doing this?Can I leave the disk formatted fat32 and still use it with the mac?I want to use it to put movies on as the mac mini doesnt have much space.
