[QUOTE="James, post: 108606, member: 7582"] If you want to have an external drive that can be written to and read from both the Pc and the Mac you will need to format the drive in Fat 32 or what i consider a better way is to format the drive in the Mac format and use the program called MacDrive on the Pc. MacDrive is a pc program that will allow the pc to both read and write to a Mac hard drive. Works very well. [/QUOTE]
