[QUOTE="eric, post: 358787, member: 22327"] you can use the one you have. the only restriction is the file system. feel free to reformat your current disk to FAT32 once you've retrieved all the data you need. you can also format to HFS+ if you're pretty sure you won't be using the drive on a PC (though you can always download a utility to read HFS+ on a windows machine). but for the best compatability, go FAT32, or create a couple partitions and make one of each. ;) [/QUOTE]
