[QUOTE="Recks, post: 267140"] Hey all, Im setting up a new external HD on my new macbook. I formatted the external using FAT32 (MS-DOS as its known in mac) and everything is working fine when i copy files and extract files when booting in XP fom my external. However when I boot in tiger my external will show up no problems and the files are showing, but when I try to copy say a music file from external to the mac os desktop the whole transfer window will completely lock up, even force quiting will do nothing. Mp3 files will auto default to itunes but when I launch one off the exteral drive the same thing occurs, complete lockup. Any suggestions what I did wrong? The external is a seagate 250gig USB 2.0 and my mac book is 2gig, 512 RAM. Thanks very much [/QUOTE]
