[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1228651, member: 46727"] The drive can certainly be used for a Mac or PC but the format has to either be compatible or drivers are needed. Since you were able to copy files to the drive from your PC it has to be formatted to NTFS or FAT-32 not the Mac format. (A PC can not write to a Mac formatted drive without a special driver.) Can you tell us what kind of errors it's giving you? Or what kind of problems you're running into when trying to transfer the files? [/QUOTE]
