[QUOTE="APL, post: 786800, member: 80150"] Ok so I have googled, read and youtubed it up for a day now and still haven't found my 100% I have a 1TB exernal hard drive I had with me PC (vista) and it has around 400+gigs of file (music, pics, tv, movie, school papers, ebooks, pc programs, couple mac apps and so on). well how do i format the drive WITHOUT erasing it, keeping all my files. I have a "apple only" external that would fit everything but if i copy all the files to the "apple only" will it be f-d up from the PC files? And what to format it too because I need a PC/Mac external to go between the two, i have got different answers here too. Does this make since to anyone? I need one external hard drive for PC/Mac use and my Mac only one (that one works perfect). I am working with a Mac Book OS X 10.5.6 I can take files off the 1TB HD but not add any, and most files coming off the 1TB are locked so too delete anything i have to get info, unlock than delete! urgh takes very long time with mass files. Please help me. I have had the mac book now for less than a week and love it. minus this whole pc hard drive f-ing with me. :Angry-Tongue: [/QUOTE]
