[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1400033, member: 131855"] If I understand correctly you are wanting to know how to read and write from your Mac to a Windows drive? If that's not what you want disregard the rest of this post. Your Mac can read and write to FAT-32 drives without ant additional software. The problem with this format is that no single file can be larger than 4 GB. The more common Windows format now is NYFS. Your Mac can read NTFS droves with no problems but not write to them. For that you would need some third-party software such as [url=http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/]Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X software[/url] [/QUOTE]
