[QUOTE="Lbatson21, post: 1329065, member: 169331"] You should have no problem just plugging it in and transferring the data as is. Most hard drives are formatted as FAT32 by default so you'll be able to read/write to the disk whether it's Mac or Windows. If you reformatted the drive for Windows in NTFS then you'll still be able to pull the files off and read them, you just cant' write to the external natively from Mac OSX with that format. [/QUOTE]
