[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1261453, member: 46727"] First... Please do not double post or cross post. You asked this same question in two different posts. And, additionally you posted a "test". One post is sufficient. The other two posts have been deleted. Thanks. As for the external hard drive 700 GB partition, FAT-32 should be common to both the Mac and the blue ray player. The problem with FAT-32 is that the file size will be limited to around 4 GB. That means movies and videos which exceed that in size can not be placed on the drive. The only other file system that the blue ray player might recognize is NTFS, however, the MacBook by default can only read NTFS not write. You would need a third party driver to write to the drive from the MacBook. Go to the Sony website and check to see which file systems that particular player can read from before deciding how to format the 700 GB partition. [/QUOTE]
