[QUOTE="chscag, post: 759826, member: 46727"] The only possible explanation I can "offer" is that the data on the DVD is formatted in a DOS like directory structure: directory one\directory two\directory three\ and so on..... Your Mac uses a Unix file system which has an entirely different structure: directory one/directory two/directory three/ ....... You can't mix or append. That's probably why the data gets wiped out. Sorry I can't be of more help or offer you any way to get around having to reformat the data from disk to append to the Mac. Regards. [/QUOTE]
