[QUOTE="mac57, post: 338023, member: 17052"] The best solution is to (a) reformat the drive for HFS+ (the native Mac format) and then (b) get the MacDrive HFS+ driver for Windows (see: [url]http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6)[/url]. It costs about $50.00 and seems well worth it. If you are feeling a little more adventurous, and are looking for a free solution, you can settle on the Linux standard format ext2. Free support is available for both Mac and Windows. Here are the links: Mac ext2: [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx[/url] Windows ext2: [url]http://www.fs-driver.org[/url] I have used the Windows support myself, on a dual boot Windows/Linux system and can vouch for it. I have not yet played with the Mac support. [/QUOTE]
