[QUOTE="yanc, post: 416899, member: 32648"] If it is NTFS formated you can only "read" in Mac OS,if it is FAT32 you can read and write but there is a 4 GB limit on the file size.So if you want to use the disk on both Mac and PC you should a) format it as FAT32 b)use Macdrive [url]http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/[/url] on your PC so you can have access to Mac formated disks c)use NTFS-3G [url]http://www.ntfs-3g.org/[/url] on your Mac so you can have access to NTFS formated disks I'm not an expert but i hope i pointed you to the right direction.
