[QUOTE="eric, post: 305155, member: 22327"] you can mount the old drive in an external case (10-30 bucks), either usb, firewire, or both. the drive will almost definitely be recognized unless there is some weird issue with the drive. you will be able to copy anything on it to your mac. you may or may not be able to write to it, modify stuff on it, or delete anything from it. if it is formatted NTFS, you will only be able to read. if it is formatted FAT32 or FAT16, you're good to go. if it is formatted NTFS, copy anything off of it that you want to save, then in the mac's disk utility you can reformat as fat32 to have the best compatability between macs and pcs.
