[QUOTE="BSTEboy50, post: 108723"] I was also thinking of formating the Hard Drive to NTFS and hook it up to my XP machine, and then network my PC and Mac Laptops so they can read and write files from each other. I found a website which outlines this: [url]http://macosx.axisit.net/osx_networking/[/url] Would this work? Can I read and write with both computers on the external Hard Drive? or will it be a read only format for the Mac? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
