[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1463933, member: 193366"] You should be able to read that drive and pull files from there. Mac OS X can read NTFS. Probably not a bad idea to get a new external HD though - if for no other reason than to use Time Machine. Can't go wrong with these guys [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/]FireWire 400, FireWire 800, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, eSATA External Hard Drive Storage for Apple Mac and PCs - Desktop, Rack, and Portable Models[/url] but your choices are many. Doesn't matter if its formatted for Mac - you can format the drive using Disk Utility. [/QUOTE]
