[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1055237, member: 46727"] If the external hard drive is formatted to FAT-32 it will be compatible with both your new MBP and the PC. You can easily transfer files back and forth. However, if the external is formatted to NTFS, you'll need to either install a driver on the Mac or use the built in NTFS read write capability of Snow Leopard which is not turned on by default. When you get your MBP, post back and we can help you solve that very easily. Regards. [/QUOTE]
