[QUOTE="TheInvsbleMan, post: 786845, member: 32183"] Another option would be to connect the PC formatted drive to the PC and share it on the network and access it from your Mac that way. File systems do not matter over a network. A few facts to keep in mind: [B]NTFS[/B] - PC can read and write, Mac can read but not write (unless you have third party software). [B]Fat32[/B] - PC and Mac can both read and write, but there are file size limitations such as 4GB max file size, only so many things can be in the root directory [URL="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463"]Click for a full list[/URL]. [B]HFS+[/B] - Mac can read and write, Windows will need third party software to use this drive. [/QUOTE]
