[QUOTE="PowerBookG4, post: 587327, member: 8394"] So your three options would be: 1) Format your drive to Fat 32 (macs can not write to NTFS) and deal with the limitations. 2) Buy the software for your friend to install on the windows pc so he can read HSF+ (Macs file system) 3) Buy another External HD, format this one as Fat 32, and use that drive to use on both your mac and pc, while keeping your backup drive the newer better operating system with fewer problems. (This is what I would do) And, Welcome to the forums, I hope you enjoy your stay here. [/QUOTE]
