[QUOTE="Joey Sarks, post: 1372937, member: 35749"] So my external hard drive was fine for my pc but now that I am Mac I can't do anything but read my files. I was wondering if Fat32 was the format i'm supposed to go for, or MSDOS(fat) in the disc utility. Can I take all my files off my fathers pc and put them back on my newly formatted external drive afterwards with no problem? Also I've heard Fat32 is only temporary and after time they have file corruption problems, can anyone explain that to me? Is it safe to do this for at least a year or two? TY in advance:) [/QUOTE]
