[QUOTE="Ken Ardency, post: 1288329, member: 212908"] I guess it's NTFS. OS X can only read DATA from NTFS drive. I saw many External Hard Drives have written in their manuals and boxes something like this "reformat is required for OS X" You have to reformat as HFS+ or other Mac formats or get a 3rd party software such as Pragon NTFS for Mac to be able to read and write DATA in your External Hard Drive without reformating MS-DOS FAT can be read and write by both OS X and Windows but it can not contain file larger than 4GB [/QUOTE]
