[QUOTE="StMFA, post: 1265519, member: 203876"] Is the WD an external? if so then i would copy everything off it and then reformat it as FAT32- this will allow you to read write to the drive from both Mac and Windows provided no single file is greater than 4gb- which shouldnt be an issue provided you are not putting HD movies on it. Either way, you will want to format any external as HFS(mac only) or FAT32(mac and windows) to ensure that you can backup your photos from your mac. [/QUOTE]
