[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 985455, member: 140470"] What you can do is format your external HD into FAT format and it should work on both Mac and Windows. Just use Disk Utilities in Mac to do it. Once again you will lose all current data on your hard drive if you format so make sure to backup the data if it's important to you. I personally would rather use two external HDs so that I would have one for Mac and one for Windows but I understand why some people want to use it for both. [/QUOTE]
