[QUOTE="NYTechGuy, post: 752727, member: 71161"] Hi Marky - I am a new switcher, but I think you can read a PC formatted drive on the Mac, but must format to Mac if you want to write to it. Case in point - when I purchased my new Western Digital external 500B HDD, Time Machine (Apple Backup) informed me that I needed to reformat it. Hope this helps! :) p.s. I also picked up the "Missing Manual for Mac (Leopard Edition)" book too. I saw that it is 40% off at Barnes & Noble this week. This will answer tons of questions that you might have! [/QUOTE]
