[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1803478, member: 396914"] Yes, a Mac can read the FAT32 format, but cannot write to it. So, you should be able to just attach the LaCie and copy the library to the internal drive, then use Disk Utility to reformat the drive as you said and then copy the iPhoto database back to it. Once there, you'll need to open iPhoto preferences and tell iPhoto to use that database again, even if the drive has the same name as before. [/QUOTE]
