[QUOTE="TwistD, post: 180274"] Hi All, I'm trying to help my girlfriend here, we've just bought an external hard drive for editing purposes here at PSU and I need to know what the best way to format it is. Should I create different partitions with different formats, or is there a basic format that would work between both windows and macs. I'm not into the whole mac thing, but she has to be for her work here. I do run Linux if there is a possible cross over with a linux swap. Just looking for some information on disk formats and what would be best for her. I have the ability to format and everything, so if someone could throw me some information on what the basic mac formats are and what the differences are I'd appreciate it. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
